What's the alternative to murder offsets/carbon credits? We could ask expert regulators to decide which carbon intensive activities are necessary and which ones aren't, and *ban the unnecessary ones*. We could ask those regulators to devise remediation programs that actually work. After all, there are plenty of forests that have already been clearcut, plenty that have burned. It would be nice to know how we can plant new forests there that aren't "thousands of blowtorches."
