Property developers spark anger over plan to clear woodland home to Baudin’s and Carnaby’s black cockatoos Proposal to replant inside a different type of protected woodland would not replicate diversity of cleared sites used by threatened cockatoo species, conservationists say

Carbon credits are failing to help with climate change — here’s why The idea that emissions can be offset through projects that claim to avoid releases or to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is fatally flawed.

He tells it like it is, no spin.

Our governments are all approving #FossilFuel projects like mad, while PRETENDING to be reducing emissions!

52 REDD+ projects from 12 countries show greater climate benefits than previous studies but low efficacy overall. Less than 20% of the projects met their emissions targets. Project success and overestimation both varied considerably between countries

Once again, carbon offsets don't reduce emissions.

Companies should do them only if they:
1. Are voluntary. Sure, do offsets for marketing purposes or investor requirements, but companies should ...
2. Still pay for their emissions (e.g. carbon taxes) […]
