I struggle to think of an expletive that works here. The people of the UK are providing welfare to companies for what? Not cutting down trees that don’t exist?
The article later goes in to say researchers found evidence that 6% of the credits are having the intended effects.
The malignancy of the authors of this program is astonishing.

- beatthatflight 3y agoAm I going blind? I can't find your quotes in the article linked?
- reilly3000 3y agohttps://www.cam.ac.uk/stories/carbon-credits-hot-air https://www.cam.ac.uk/stories/carbon-credits-hot-air I found that quote on that article, and I could have sworn I commented on a link to that post, not this Ars article on the same subject. Perhaps they were merged in the last hour?
- beatthatflight 3y agoOdd. Thanks though, appreciate hunting down the link for me!
