carbonoffsets, greenwashing

I've always said carbon offsets were AT BEST just reducers of additional carbon or better than nothing. I didn't grasp their worst.

"...junk or overvalued carbon credits which exaggerate emission reduction benefits could be the norm.

...[eg] Tele Pires hydropower dam in Brazil which has reportedly damaged Indigenous and traditional communities, harmed biodiversity and fisheries, and is also probably emitting significant carbon emissions."
