The dude has a great point about the need to verify carbon offsets.
Where he loses me is this whole idea of 'reparative justice'. That will never happen. We can't even get everyone to agree to meet targets that will keep the world at 1.5c. The idea that we'll get powerful countries and corporations to fork over trillions to right past wrongs is laughable. It's a bad faith poison pill. If I didn't know any better, I'd bet this guy is funded by fossil fuel companies to ensure nothing gets done.
- theragra 4y agoI agree. Maybe it can happen to some extent, but sounds kind of dangerous way to follow. Same as with a law applied to previous crimes. If companies should pay for what was lawful at the time, how you can be sure something you are doing now won't be declared evil? Meat production, outsourcing to cheaper countries, not sharing natural resource profits on large scale with citizens, like in Norway? Hundreds of things that are looking sus now. CEO pay, among others. But who would make large effective enteprises in such climate? I don't like large corps, but ive lived in socialism, and it is way worse.
