 If this isn't a perfect example modern #colonialism, I don't know what is. A company headed by a Saudi prince grabbing 20% of Zimbabwe and 10% of Liberia in order to sell carbon offsets that'll no doubt be used by firms to continue burning fossil fuels.

This isn't helping fight #climateChange, it's doing exactly the opposite.
