    This is an easy one. Any kind of carbon credit scheme is a scam. It’s all fake. Anyone pushing this is a grifter and it will do nothing to curb climate change/emissions. Expecting the “Green New Deal” to solve climate change is like expecting the Patriot Act to solve terrorism. Wise up, everybody!

    “Stakeholder” is the new “sustainability,” “i.e., a buzzword that means nothing – worse than nothing, this language is harmful and retrograde.

    It’s more complex than something you can write off as just a scam, though. For example, you probably know Evan Thomas at CU Boulder, and he wrote a nuanced take on the potential for credits to fund water access that I summarized here: https://www.engineeringforchange.org/news/can-carbon-credits-pay-for-global-water-security/
