Not even going to start off pretending to be unbiased, are we? You don't have to have an inherent bias to be able to recognize a scam when it comes along. You just have to keep your eyes open and not fall for every snake oil salesman that comes along. |

It's not really a stretch when you're talking about the biggest global scam ever seen in the history of everything.

Look at this document. $.20 per ton of carbon is merely the trading fee... People are getting filthy rich off of making up rules and shuffling around carbon credits. Almost every paragraph in this document has a requirement for a governing body to approve something, authorize something else, license and approve "third party" inspectors (after taking their fee of course), set standards, change the standards and require re-certification (with more fees of course), etc etc. If this document showed up in your email you'd recognize it for the pyramid scheme scam that it really is, yet it's actually a real thing foisted off on the entire world. This is simply how it's being implemented in one place, and the entire document is one huge multilevel marketing scheme everyone has to participate in but has no say in who sets fees, who takes a cut, who authorizes who can play, etc.
Got a bunch of smaller participants who need to aggregate their efforts in order to qualify? 8%-10% "aggregation fee" in addition to all the other transaction fees, just for shuffling paperwork and handling approvals. That's a LOT of money moving around and going into the pockets of a very limited number of people enforcing rules nobody ever voted on and with no real oversight by elected officials. http://www.myminnesotawoods.umn.edu/...-seq1-5-12.pdf Scammity scam scam. |
Regardless of politics and the pros/cons of carbon offset programs, humans are causing climate change. The lingering confusion is purposeful.

Ask yourself why the climate on Mars is also changing? |

Incorrect. It is still unknown what effect, if any, and to what degree, humans are having on the climate.

Ask yourself why the climate on Mars is also changing? It has been demonstrated, empirically and beyond a reasonable doubt, that anthropogenic climate change exists. full stop. the poster you responded to posted a source full of empirical evidence, and you reply with "bUt wHaT aBoUt MaRs?!?!?!" I honestly can't tell if you're an intellectually dishonest troll or just an idiot |
