we need to start addressing carbon offsetting in the same way that we approach other corporate greenwashing stunts.

no climate ‘action’ or ‘justice’ group should be advocating for ‘net’ emissions - which constitutes of corporate recolonisation of the so-called ‘global south’

the difference between paper straws& carbon offsetting is that 1 action essentially does nothing positive,& the other does nothing positive& has the added element of being complicit in genoicidal land grabs. so why is it that we spoke out against the former but ignore the latter?

we’ve also known about the dangers of carbon offsetting for a ridiculous number of a years - this article is from 2014 in the guardian : https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/environment/earth-insight/2014/jul/03/world-bank-un-redd-genocide-land-carbon-grab-sengwer-kenya
