I don’t necessarily mind it. There is some practical reasons for us still polluting. I still drive a car. I still have non renewable electricity running my house. I could buy carbon credits or address every polluting thing I do directly (which honestly in modern life is a lot of detailed work or significant cut back in standard of living). It’s the net impact that matters.

That being said, carbon credits could be designed better. If it’s not having an impact on the net pollution then it isn’t doing it’s job.

Indeed. I think such b.s. will go on until it reaches a point that we have to actively remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Who knows when that will happen?
