Liberal Paper: Carbon offsets are "largely worthless"

A new study by the liberal newspaper the Guardian, the German weekly Die Zeit and the journalism nonprofit Source Material found that more than 90% of the so-called “rainforest carbon offsets” sold by Verra, the biggest provider of them to virtue-signaling companies like Disney and Gucci, are “largely worthless.” They’re likely to be “phantom credits” that don’t represent any carbon reductions. There’s a lot more at this link, like a claim that Verra overstated the threat to forests in its projects by about 400%. (FYI: Verra disputes the findings.)

Please note that I linked to the Guardian, not a conservative site. So this is what people you think would be supporters of this stuff are saying about them.
Related: Say, remember those recent deadly California storms that liberal politicians and celebrities were blaming on manmade c*****e c****e? The liberal L.A. Times helped promote that narrative. Well, even the Times now admits that according to researchers, there’s no evidence of a link between c*****e c****e and those storms, which are part of a recurring cycle of heavy storms that have been hitting California about every decade since records started being kept in the 1800s. I guess back then, they were caused by emissions from horses.

We know this. Progressives don't want to know. The elites need a reason to sink Capitalism and re-set the world economy. T***h has never been part of their equation.
