just so you know, no sign of fossil fuel transition right now. This is not happening. All we do is talk, and continue as usual.
Atmospheric CO2 concentrations "surged" last year - a record yearly increase

It's bad enough that we're continuing to burn fossil fuels, but now the world's natural carbon sinks (like the forests going up in flames) are failing too

Fuck
Record leap in CO2 fuels fears of accelerating global heating
CO2 in air hit new high last year, with scientists concerned natural land and ocean carbon sinks are weakening

Poor integrity of carbon offsets :

"all key market participants benefit from inflated claims about carbon credits"

www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Auditors can’t save carbon offsets
The theory behind carbon offset projects is appealing: Instead of an organization cutting its own emissions, it can fund lower-cost carbon-reducing projects elsewhere to “offset” its emissions. The re...
