Comrades we need to be crystal clear that nature based offsetting is 100% bogus scientifically. It’s not “less effective” it’s entirely ineffective. And it’s not fixable. Indeed by providing a spurious justification for continuing fossil carbon emissions it’s counterproductive.

Good on the Guardian for this. I'm astonished at how many journalists at other organisations don't seem to know this or think that it's important to mention. Coalition politicians keep claiming it's net zero causing rising costs without any pushback
The Coalition claims pursuing net zero will increase power bills – but in the real world the opposite is true.
