every time I see someone take seriously carbon credits/offsets I lose some hope. Possibly the most successful greenwashing campaign yet. Study after study have shown their uselessness. It doesn't even feel fair to call their problems as "loopholes" when, i.e., 90% of credits are completely worthless https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jan/18/revealed...

The system isn't broken. It's working exactly as intended.
