A study of 26 #carbon #offset projects across six countries published in the journal Science last year found that 
few of them succeeded in stopping deforestation.
Whatever climate benefits the projects were purported to have were overblown by as much as 300 percent.
A separate investigationinto one of the world’s leading carbon #registries found that 90 percent of its rainforest offsets turned out to be “phantom credits” that likely didn’t represent real-world reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
And a 2022 report by nonprofit watchdog Carbon Market Watch determined that carbon offset credits offered by major European airlines were similarly linked to faulty forestry projects.

I've just computed that if you want to #offset ONE #travel by #plane #Paris to #Rio (about 2.880 tCO2, according to @labos1point5), by not sending #email (without attachment), I need to completely stop sending emails for the next ...
272 YEARS !
assuming an average of 10 emails per day, each working #day. The #carbon #footprint of an email is considered to be 4g CO2eq.

"A total of 39 of the top 50 #emission #offset projects, or 78% of them, were categorised as likely junk or worthless due to one or more fundamental failing that undermines its promised emission cuts.
Eight others (16%) look problematic, with evidence suggesting they may have at least one fundamental failing and are potentially junk, according to the classification system applied."

Making a killing on nature
Ever wondered how much money a single koala might be worth?
"At the moment, the price for the koala credit is about $400."
"A credit is the compensation a developer would need to pay in New South Wales for killing a koala's habitat — known as a "biodiversity offset"."
"Traded biodiversity 'credits' are key to Labor's environmental plans, but critics are not convinced. In New South Wales, a koala "species credit" can be bought for several hundred dollars."
"And there is no hard-and-fast commitment to stopping that native forest logging [nor] even a commitment to stopping the rampant land clearing that's happening in New South Wales and Queensland."

@LillianVS same exactly. I managed to recruit a mod from /r/Cardano for my lemmy.world Cardano community. But, I created quite a few other communities that I’d love to pass the mod duties ont as well. In each case, I started them because I wanted to protect them from nefarious actors; properly hand over the reins to trusted community members.
I want to transfer my mod duties at lemmy.world for:

An #offset program — backed by the World Bank — that is meant to promote #conservation is actually devastating communities and the ecosystem in #Guinea, where villages have been torn apart and residents and endangered #chimps fight for the same #resources.

We could hand off #gunControl to the #oilBarons. It would be an #offset scheme that works like this:
For each bullet you buy, you must provide a unique list of 1000 names of people you promise not to shoot.
Easy!

Research into Verra, world’s leading #carbon standard for the rapidly growing $2bn voluntary #offset market, found that >90% of rainforest offset credits are likely “phantom credits”, not representing genuine #carbon reductions.
This raises questions over credits bought by several internationally renowned companies – some having labelled products #carbonneutral, or told their consumers they can fly, buy new clothes or eat certain foods worsening the #climatecrisis.
