If your rich and you pollute, it’s “fine”.
If your poor and you pollute, “what a dick”
If you’re rich and commit a crime, that’s an inconsequential fine.
If you’re poor and commit a crime, that’s crippling debt or jail time.
I vote we start calling them Carbon Indulgences.
why does that make me crave chocolate?
I get that. Specifically something like Lindor.
Yeah those are lab-made exquisitely engineered to tantalize all our senses and keep us addicted, popping one after another into our face holes, & keep buying more.
Haven’t had them in years. A distant memory, though a very pleasant one if I recall correctly.
I liked that they were perfectly round too; the optimal shape for eating far too many.
Same. Last time I had one was probably 2019.
And they are too big to fit in my mouth, I must take bites.
I might be misremembering the size 😓
Well at least they last longer that way
I can’t believe how many people are just now realizing carbon offsets are a sham…
If you search on YouTube “carbon offsets”, the first result is the piece John Oliver did, which if you haven’t watched i really recommend you to.
I always liken it to the anti-child/slave labor movement in the late 90s. Companies learned if they just sub-subcontract, they can use child and/or slave labor and just keep saying, “[GAP] vociferously objects to slave and child labor. And through our rigorous internal investigation, we have found that a company we hired has in turn hired a company that was participating in this disgusting act. We have officially severed ties with the contractor which so profoundly failed in their quality control and, in [GAP’s] humble opinion, in their morality.”
[GAP] spits on the idea of slave labor pointedly
camera flashes, press murmurs as spokesperson leaves stand
[GAP] hires the contractor under their new LLC and continues profiting from slave labor
She should just directly fund new wind and solar energy non-profits.
I have recently begun to think that all the super-rich are high on cocaine all the time. And that is solely based off of what I see on the internet.

Interestingly, I’m pretty sure she got that “dress” (really, it’s panties and a corset with a mesh dress over top) on Amazon. I saw nearly the same thing just today. It was $25 and listed as a rave costume.
So your drug hypothesis is supported so far….
(Yes yes, I know it’s not actually the same thing, but it might as well be… normal people wouldn’t go out wherever in that…)
Funny article title. Skimmed it - raised good points about some of general pitfalls of carbon offset
“carbon offsets” brought to you by the people who sold you “a calorie is a calorie”
Always had the feeling there was something fishy about these carbon offset programmes. It just doesn’t seem like a problem that can be solved by throwing more cash at it. Sad to hear this is indeed the case for most of these companies.
I think everyone should watch he John Oliver piece about it.
Yeah, it takes having buyer and seller wanting to prevent emissions and using a third party auditor to verify. What we actually have is buyer and seller colluding with auditors to produce PR instead of emissions cuts
