    Always had the feeling there was something fishy about these carbon offset programmes. It just doesn’t seem like a problem that can be solved by throwing more cash at it. Sad to hear this is indeed the case for most of these companies.

      Yeah, it takes having buyer and seller wanting to prevent emissions and using a third party auditor to verify. What we actually have is buyer and seller colluding with auditors to produce PR instead of emissions cuts
