Also, feels a bit cheeky that non carbon benefits are ignored:

To be clear, I think we should be moving away from fossil fuels as fast as possible as that's the core cause of climate change and we have alternatives. I don't think this is a particularly fair take on the imperfect tool of voluntary carbon markets, because "tool is imperfect and can be improved" isn't a good headline.
