    I feel like there’s a lot of these carbon-sequestration companies that are selling absolute poppycock and getting billions in funding, and very little actual oversight. They’re doing this song and dance with “carbon credits”, and eventually someone’s going to peek behind the curtain and blow their cover.

    I haven’t seen one carbon-sequestration entity yet, besides those that are focused around planting trees, that have actually shown any real results other than vague handwavey bullshit. Like the ones saying they’re capturing it out of the air and pumping it underground – awfully convenient that nobody can fucking verify that it’s actually happening eh?
