    I’m extremely sceptic of carbon credits as a whole. The logic is just flawed. Not because the way you can make carbon credits but because it effectively created a marked where you can buy rights to pollute. For most companies that will be just a matter of economics. If I can make more money by polluting more if I make enough I can just pay to offset the carbon I added to the atmosphere. And seems a bit sad for a country to concede land to a company even if given resource extraction alternatives makes it not that bad.
