Add to that: The recent reporting about the outrageous, misleading claims of #Verra that sold #offsets certificates that do not, in fact, reduce or even avoid, any emissions. Of course if you oversell certificates by up to 90%, the business is lucrative and the "carbon market" is one of the fastest growing.

Warum zeigt die #ARD keinen Brennpunkt dazu, d 90% d globalen #CO2 Zertifikate Schrott sind?
Firmen haben im Irrglaube CO2 emittiert OHNE d diese effektiv kompensiert wurden.
Globaler Schwindel auf Kosten des #klimawandel horrenden Ausmaßes. Markt für Zertifikate - zentrales wirts-politisches Instrument - ist kaputt.

Was sagen BuReg, @BMWK , @GrueneBundestag u @greenpeace dazu?
