My impression is that these are just environmental indulgences, instead of paying the church to sin you pay a landfill or biotech startup. Meaningless branding
My father owns land in Brazil and to me it’s the old story of the little guy always getting screwed. Brazil has one of the strictest regulations on preservation, we have to preserve up to 80% of the land we own. I used to live in England, my dad came visit and as we drove by Nottingham forest I said: look dad, that’s the iconic Robin Hood forest. He smiled and said “this was all forest before”. If we have some sort of balance and we are not all under the water today is because some are emitting CO2 and some are capturing. So next time you take a flight remember my dad’s forest is absorbing your carbon so we don’t all die-and no, he’s not getting paid a cent for that. Carbon credits are a step solution for companies which cannot yet eliminate their emissions, and as a part of a well-devised strategy AND with an end date they do have a point. But that point only makes sense if all companies take it, then the balance of all would be-you guessed it, 0.
You're first mistake is thinking we need to sequester carbon at all. Carbon is the building block of life. We ARE carbon. Plants and crops thrive on CO2. Why do you think there are CO2 generators for growing plants? You've bought into the globalists plan to control all of humanity through carbon credits and carbon footprints, managed by a "social" credit score that will determine what and how much of something you can buy or use You are being used as a tool by globalists that aim to vastly reduce our travel, food supply, and acceptable actions on the Earth, while they travel in private jets to their seaside mansions and eat filet mignon. We'll "own nothing and be happy" 🙄

I appreciate the careful thinking here and I’m afraid that you’re probably right.
