“Net Zero” was often bs anyway with the legitimacy of some of the carbon credits anyway
Carbon credits are BS anyway - FTFY. With self-reporting, difficult to quantify metrics, and industry resistance, it was doomed to failure from the start, and we spent a lot of time gaslighting ourselves that it could work.
That effort would have been much better spent making as many technologies as green as possible, or researching green alternatives.
I agree trying to have the market correct itself with carbon credits was always going to lead to corruption like this. I’m firmly on the socialism or barbarism train and we’re running shorter on time each day.
