The scientific theory of carbon offsets is sound. The problem isn't in the idea of them, it's in the execution, which is either backed up (or not) by governments. The governments are in the pockets of Big Oil, so they don't enforce these agreements. Every time a corporation claims it's going to offset its carbon and doesn't, that's obviously fraud, and an executive should go to prison for it. And equally, the corporation should be fined more than it made through sales which would not have occurred without the fraud. Anything less is not a deterrent. The government creates the corporations (it grants them a charter, without which they do not exist) and then it fails to enforce their behavior.

It is still better to have carbon taxes instead and spend the proceeds on bioremediation including carbon fixing. But they would just have loopholes for the taxes, because the root problem is crony capitalism.

I don't have the ability to put in rail, and I still have to get to work. Fuck you for blaming this on me when I need to survive, and I have spent hours and hours in advocacy of superior solutions even though the typical response is mockery.

Don't some VPN softwares block all non-VPN traffic to the non-VPN interface while they are active? I swear I've used one like this before.

They were paid for a service that they did not deliver.

They delivered exactly the same service as any other carbon credit seller, the appearance of doing soemthing while doing absolutely nothing.

Because first world nations are spending their own money.

Excuse me? As a taxpayer I can very much assure you they are NOT spending "their own" money. They are spending the money of the citizens of those countries.

They spend either my tax money, OR by printing more money destroy the purchasing power of money I have. Either way they are spending my money.

Did the author just dead#ss forget about camera phones for 5 years prior?

Granted okay the 808 had a camera over 10 years ago thats better than most phones on market now still so good enough is good enough but also modern good enough is better than a pocket camera from 15 years ago.

"This is the taboo question that no none is allowed to ask, because everyone already knows the answer, and the answer is not the evil racist white man."

In fact that often IS the answer. Nations were destroyed with colonialism, and racism was literally invented to excuse it. Many have also been deliberately suppressed since through various foul means including sanctions, backing coups, and outright assassination. That answer is the real taboo, especially if you ask the governments responsible.

It's called RAIL.

No, I am not seeing that at all. I see plenty of cops. I see some every day that I go out.

Lolol modded down by someone who knows nothing as usual.

"AI" is not thinking. It chews up data and shits out data. If the shit is valid it's only a coincidence.

Poor countries must demonstrate clearer accounting and transparency to back up their calls for trillions of dollars of climate finance,

Why, when no first world nation does the same?

At this point trillions of dollars have gone into climate related slush funds with much of it siphoned off to make some very rich people incredibly richer, with a tiny portion actually going to real efforts to help the environment.

Why shouldn't the third would be allowed to dine at the same trough? Sounds like a racist thing if I'm being honest.

If they want us to try their coin, they should hand out some free samples.

Nobody knows how to do that, at least not for a model of useful size. It would have to be reasoning in order to explain, but they aren't doing that.

The systems do in fact allow you to choose less than 3 seconds' following distance. People are literally complaining that the system won't let them drive unsafely.

The faster you go, the more space you need between cars to maintain safe following distance. If I have a safe following distance between me and the car ahead, if someone merges into that space then I no longer have safe following distance, so now we need even more space. At commute times there is not enough road available for all the cars to have safe following distance at speed. This is what happens on any overutilized road. If you wait for that much distance to appear then traffic backs up at the point of entry.
