Well said. The political trick is the ‘net’ in net zero. Carbon credits and offsets are ways to achieve net zero whilst increasing carbon dioxide emissions. It just costs us all more! What a wonderful scheme for the emitters.

[@matthewmenteer5673]

Its money laundering. Cap and trade or carbon credits is why some of these faux EV companies were able to get millions in grants, sell the credits they earned to conventional car companies, then go bankrupt after a given amount of time. Tesla made millions this way, admittedly they are an actual company trying to sell an actual product, and they are the most valued car company by a long shot.

CO2 is necessary, government oiks are not

[@mickdalrymple6425]

It doesn't 'cost' us a thing. That is not how taxation works. If taxation was a priority to finance all spending, then subsidies just like carbon credits would not exist, nor would a very low corporate tax.

[@cadaeishere8242]

It is more like a fishing net analogy. The 'net' in net zero describes the process of ever decreasing allowances and freedoms. Until the school of peasants is hauled out of the environment, dumped on the deck and gutted - to save the planet for the oligarchs. The only positive in net zero is that many of the useful idiots in the public and private sectors who are campaigning for it will end up in the net with the rest of us.

[@peterjackson2625]

If an authority or governance uses the words "net zero" in relation to ecological matters, you can be sure it's a scam.

So the way this works is.... I say I have 80 acres of trees. I then sign up to a private programme and say that I will start the chainsaw if a company doesn't buy credits to sponsor each tree, and make me leave the Stihl on standby for another day. Nobody audits me to see if I actually had the trees, or actually owned a chainsaw.

[@zwerko]

Truth to be told, some of the better scamme... I mean carbon offset companies do have audits and will not take ones word for it, however they don't go further than checking if the land owner even has the right or means to cut down the forest, nor whether deforestation was even planned. There were some hilarious examples where land owners got a permission to cut down the forest on their land in two years time, so they sell 2 years worth of CO2 offset while they wait...

[@michaelbamber4887]

​@zwerko cool, I have an apple tree, can I sell it as my carbon offset then? ( don't plan on cutting it down) but I do intend to carry on burning fossil fuel. It is just a fucking big con again, if it was so good it would be free, oh hang on. Is someone or group of wankers making lots of money out of it? Must have a cost then.

In fact I suspect the JCAE Global HQ have their 2nd home and key research hub ensconced in a low-key non-descript warehouse down a ROW off Tennant Street there. As I'm an engineering/working class man like yourself (even though I do IT SysAdmin for a crust), I find the "Fyshwick feel/vibe" to be far more attractive, welcoming and down-to earth as opposed to the detached, 'poash snobbery' of Civic and Yarralumla 'up the road'. When I was there 10 years ago, I had great customer experience at Canberra Motorcycles with buying some very good 'weathers' suits and other biker bits that I still have and use today. No, I put it to you, that the Serial Killing conferences are far more likely to held up the road at Parkes, Barton and Forrest where the real psychopaths (politicians) reside. In fact I'd go as far as to say that the real Deep State Serial Killing conferences take place in cloistered rooms with names like 'Joint Chiefs of Staff' and 'Indigenous Affairs' up in the bunker on the Crapitol Hill.

I'm planning to start a long-haul trucking company with 100 trucks. Each of them will run 500 miles a day, burning 75 gallons each. So each day my trucks will burn 7500 gallons of fuel, or 52500 pounds. Each pound of fuel burned is converted to 3.2 pounds of CO2, so my trucks will be emitting 168000 pounds, or 84 tons of CO2 every day. A median value for carbon credits is $54 per ton, so if somebody will pay me $4536 dollars a day to not emit all that CO2, I might be persuaded to not start my big trucking company. Any takers? Just think about how good you can feel about yourself.
