For once I'm rooting for the "troglodytes". Their new encoding standard is bleeped up, not the streets. Pressure the fools to fix the standard.

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.

Dude, get your head out of your ass. Quite frankly, if you want to make a point, make it one that is a little less ridiculous.

So let me get this straight. If there were *real* carbon offset credits, that would in your view be *just as dishonest* as fraudulent ones?

Most education facility today is pretty good at stunting the growth of your mind, no aid from ChatGPT required.

how?

Could you explain then why they flock to Sweden, of all the places? It's not exactly known for its ruthless Ayn-Randish capitalism.

I can already pay with my debit or credit card for free, why the hell would I accept a 2% surcharge to pay with that junk?

Who said they won't "change their mind" somewhere down the road? It's obvious they are considering it and just telling me that they won't doesn't mean a thing. That would require me to actually trust Sony.

And at best, I'd thrust them. Into the sun.

European voters' primary complaint is that the costs of green energy is being thrust on the poor rather than distributed across the income classes in an allegedly fairer manner. They are not inherently against green energy sacrifices.

Because first-world nations made most of the existing mess.

2 wrongs don't make a right. We shouldn't have to tell you that. Read some critical thinking books before opening your ignorant arrogant mouth.

> BLMs a scam anyway; how many multimillion-dollar houses do their leaders have to buy with donations...

The mansion thing is likely either fake news or exaggerated. There is no paper-work tracing back to any mansions. Your gut feelings don't count.

All large org's have a roughly 15% rate of bad apples, including your fav orgs. If you claim their rate is higher, show the details and math. Otherwise, you look like a bigot to those educated in logic, statistics, and evidence.

Repent and do better.

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.
