"The Australien Government has made an ad about its carbon-credits scheme, and
it’s surprisingly honest and informative."
"Today Scott Morrison announced the date of the next election - May 21st. So I
guess this might be the final installment in our Climate Shitfuckery series for
this government. But carbon credits and offsets are going to be a crucial issue
beyond the election - indeed for the decade to come. Both major parties are
leaning heavily on carbon credits to achieve their net zero targets. But we all
know carbon credits are not the answer to the climate crisis: stopping burning
fossil fuels is. Offsets should be used only as a last resort. However, we do
also need to offset some emissions on the way to eliminating all emissions (in
hard to abate sectors). And that is why we can't just bin them: we actually
need a carbon credit scheme we can trust. But they must be Offsets, not
Fuckoffsets! Or they're part of the problem. Unfortunately most people don't
understand how carbon credits and offsets work, let alone the way they're being
rorted. And that is why I've dedicated this HGA to this topic on the eve of the
election.
Of course, climate shitfuckery will continue - if not here, certainly around
the world - so fear not, we'll continue making these HGAs about climate and
energy policy into the future.
Thank you for the awesome response you've shown to our climate series - it has
made all the hard work worthwhile."
