#maladaptations: Misleading #offsets carry negative #consequences for the #climate because they are not #offsetting the #emissions released… not reducing deforestation as much as claimed, and for the future finance of #forestconservation because the reputational risks of being tainted by accusations of #greenwash may deter future #investments- Julia P.

57 followers · 422 posts · Server spore.socialWith all the talk of #offsets & #CDR, just a reminder that ZERO (of many) schemes actually wants physical delivery of the sequestered carbon. Many (like the 45Q federal credits) specifically exclude biological methods, which are likely the cheapest & easiest to scale.
It's like ordering groceries but never picking them up from the store, relying only on verification from the delivery service that they are at the store.
