Funny article title. Skimmed it - raised good points about some of general pitfalls of carbon offset
“carbon offsets” brought to you by the people who sold you “a calorie is a calorie”
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
I can’t believe how many people are just now realizing carbon offsets are a sham…
I have recently begun to think that all the super-rich are high on cocaine all the time. And that is solely based off of what I see on the internet.

Interestingly, I’m pretty sure she got that “dress” (really, it’s panties and a corset with a mesh dress over top) on Amazon. I saw nearly the same thing just today. It was $25 and listed as a rave costume.
So your drug hypothesis is supported so far….
(Yes yes, I know it’s not actually the same thing, but it might as well be… normal people wouldn’t go out wherever in that…)

I vote we start calling them Carbon Indulgences.
