    The carbon offset market is full of bad actors and most carbon offsets are a scam. Since you don’t receive a tangible product or service when you buy an offset, there’s almost nothing stopping vendors from overstating how much carbon is being removed, selling the same offset multiple times, or a host of other ways to produce carbon offsets from thin air.

    If you don’t believe me, I have a bridge some carbon offsets for sale.
