Give me an example of a deforestation credit that is legit and “industrial and regulatory” grade.
AFAICT any credit that relies on abatement could easily do a randomized controlled trial to measure how effective they actually are. The fact that they don’t absolutely reeks to high heaven.
- mistrial9 3y agomaybe but listen, forestry is stuck without any "upside" to this fantastic(ly inflated) stock valuation or the rampant salaries and perks that go with it.. some yuppie here wrote "I have a million in the bank now and I realize that a million dollars is just not very much money" (actual YNews quote).. yet those forestry guys will look at three years and $42k costs very seriously .. that is the monetization they are stuck in.. so you get fast talkers, clueless do-gooders, shackled and dysfunctional gov'ies, all colliding into what.. and then smart people here can take pot-shots at how bad it is.. OK then, what is your better solution?

If someone proves that they've actually captured carbon from the atmosphere, and stored it, cut them a slice of that pie, too. [1] Tax imports based on the same formula.
