Hmmm..was it the ‘AcTiviSts’ (scientists, independent experts, former ACCC chair) forcing businesses out of the govt’s carbon neutral certification scheme? Or the fact that the scheme is a legally fraught garbage fire that puts businesses at risk? Just so hard to know! #auspol #climate - ThreadSky

Bold use of ‘uninformed’ by some random guy who doesn’t understand how carbon offsets work…
Mate, carbon offsets have nothing to do with Australia’s climate targets - it’s completely separate accounting. And most offsets are not generated by planting trees.

Don't they get narky when their BS schemes are called out! Kavonik was v. upset too about the 'delusional mix of policies ... reducing coal & gas investment' that make it 'harder to generate carbon offsets', showing where his real interest lies. "It became necessary to destroy the town to save it"

Wait! Are Schultz and Kavonic actually THE SAME PERSON??

Someone who has a vested interest, no doubt, in the success of companies flogging useless carbon credits, writing in The Australian, which was a bastion of climate change denial until the right people figured out how to make a buck from climate change. He’s not a random, he’s a plant.

Saul used to work for Wood Mackenzie, a consultancy firm that seems to be quite handy when it comes to justifying gas and other fossil fuel projects.
