oh, a new one on this topic, neat!
The OOP needs understand that there's a "too". To serve himself too.

It means that you are comparing apples to orange trees. You do not understand what the challenges are and what the require effort is.
SO₂ is not the same functionally in the economies as CO₂, just like the ozone destroying gases aren't teh same functionally in the economies as CO₂.
You are breathing optimism like oxygen in an oxygen poor environment.
Do you see the global GHG emissions going down? Actually down.
Do you know when the targets for ZERO are and what the downwards angle has to be?
Good luck with your optimism.
It's a conflict of interest, it will go wrong or the system will be cancelled.
I don't think that selling licenses to pollute is a good strategy to reduce pollution (it needs to be reduced to zero ASAP).
The carbon grifting is a problem.
How Tesla Made Great Profits from Regulatory Credits? | SINBON
Take T-brand's SUV as an example. New cars emit around 210 grams of CO2 per kilometer. Under the current EU regulations (95g/km of CO2 emissions for new cars, with a €95 punishment for each gram over the limit), every new car will face a fine of up to €10,925 (115*95 = €10,925). In contrast, every new Tesla vehicle will receive 25 grams of carbon emissions credits, bringing Tesla considerable revenue in the long term.
Do Tesla car owners know that the Tesla company is selling carbon credits on their vehicle? If anything, they should be the ones getting the money, not Tesla. It's a pretty clever scam when you can sell a thing twice.
Tesla's Carbon Credit Revenue Soars to $2.76 Billion Amid Profit Drop
This revenue comes at a minimal cost to Tesla, making it a near-pure profit stream. Unlike other automakers that must purchase credits to comply with emissions regulations, Tesla generates them simply by selling zero-emission vehicles.
And do Tesla owners understand that they are not individually reducing their carbon footprint because Tesla is selling that absence of pollution as a license to pollute (carbon credit)?
This resilience is due in part to the slow transition of legacy automakers to electric vehicles. While companies like Ford and General Motors have made strides in EV production, many still rely on Tesla’s credits to meet tightening emissions standards in the U.S., Europe, and China.
In fact, Tesla’s carbon credits are helping automakers meet strict EU emission targets. Companies like Stellantis, Toyota, Ford, Mazda, and Subaru buy Tesla’s credits to offset their emissions and avoid hefty fines.
ICE car makers are buying Tesla carbon credits so that they can pollute.
Depends on the ingredients, you have to ask more specific questions.
There are studies on this, but it's a somewhat novel thing if you ignore traditional foods like tofu and seitan.

Fake Meat Versus Real Meat: Nutrition
When comparing the nutrition of plant-based and animal meats, an important factor to look at is their saturated fat content. Although fats are a necessary part of a healthy and balanced diet, consuming large amounts of saturated fat can increase levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and increase the risk of coronary heart disease and strokes. Saturated fats are found in high quantities in red meat, but are usually present in smaller amounts in plant-based meat products. One plant-based source of saturated fats to watch out for is coconut oil.
Some plant-based meats are higher in fiber. Eating high-fiber foods can help aid digestion, lower blood cholesterol levels and control blood sugar levels and appetite, which can help with weight management.
On the other hand, some plant-based meat products contain high quantities of sodium, and others may not contain enough vitamin B12. Although some manufacturers add this nutrient to their fake meat products, others do not. But this can be rectified by taking a vitamin B12 supplement.
Still in its early stages of development, the full nutritional value of lab-grown meat is difficult to ascertain. Yet because these meats are grown from just a few cells, there could be the potential to manipulate their growth and nutritional makeup to create an even healthier alternative to animal meat.
