If you ever wanted to acquire #carbonoffsets, you've surely faced the question of categorization. Here is an easy taxonomy 👇 🧵
1/ Two weeks ago I highlighted the difference between carbon emission reduction and removal projects.
The idea of #CarbonReduction is to pay others to reduce emissions in your place. But your output remains in the system. One plus zero.

2/ #CarbonRemoval on the other hand scrubs carbon directly from the atmosphere. Plus one, minus one.
But technically, the #carbonmarket makes no difference. A ton is a ton.

The idea of selling indulgences - the right to sin, for a price - has been controversial for the past 500+ years, since Jan Hus's condemnation of the practice. And yet here we are, in the age of #CarbonOffsets, where forgiveneess for torching the planet is for sale. 1/

The fundamental premise of carbon offsets is that capitalism - that machine for socializing costs and privatizing gains - isn't the problem, it's the *solution*. 3/

A couple of years ago whilst I was in #London, I decided to visit the #ExtinctionRebellion protest in #Whitehall where I managed to speak with one of its members, talking about the #Climate and Travel:

All aboard the Global New Deals for Nature train. #NewDealForNature, Voice for the Planet, Global Deal For Nature. Here we have science is being used as a tool and even a weapon to privatize the commons under the guise of protecting nature, climate & biodiversity.
We are subjected to the branding "United Behind the Science" with a heavy emphasis from the face of the campaign (exploited Thunberg) to "listen to the science". Unite Behind the Science is not meant to protect Earth. It is meant to unleash a new era of privatization & plunder.
The only thing keeping us from a full blown #TrumpRecession is your consumption. The consumer is strong while all else fails. If you limit your spending until #Election2020 you're helping to get #Trump out of office. RETWEET

Tariffs have increased prices on large appliances and other big purchases. It's in your best (#resister) interest to hold off on any big purchase until after the election. You'll ensure Trump can't boast about the economy, and you'll save money after #Dems are back in power.
You may think interest rates are low, so it's a good time to spend, however as the #TrumpRecession gathers steam the fed will need to lower rates. New #Dem prez will reduce tariffs. That will increase your buying power in 2021 and help @thedemocrats economy flourish.
