carbon offsets

they are tge best market solution we have thus far yo the climate crisis

Bullshit. Carbon offsets is mostly a scam where polluters "offset" real emissions with potential if not purely theoretical mitigation. The reforestation that companies claim offset their emissions would fill more land than there is on earth in total.

Meanwhile, the fossil fuel industry, to name the worst problem humanity has, is emitting MORE than ever while using the Carbon Offsets scam to greenwash their killing millions of people a year while being the main cause of climate change.

The best solution is, has always been and always will be to emit less pollutants.
