The Carbon Con. Major investigation into Verra, the organisation at the heart of the global carbon offsetting industry, finding that vast numbers of its credits are worthless.
Basic conflict of interest: Verra both sets the rules for credits & gets paid through sales. The result? Action against deforestation turned into a PR exercise for polluters.
