“The draft Standards can still be fixed, but only if the government is willing to accept the political cost of acting on science and saying “no” to damaging projects. #Naturepositive cannot mean development first, offsets-and-explanations later.” #auspol #environmentlaws #offsets

“What you have at the end of the day is an electricity sector that is moving back to #FossilFuel generated #electricity. It will attract produce more electricity to attract #DataCenters. But it does make us step back.”

Read Dr Richard Denniss, the No-BS economist!
He tells it like it is, no spin.
Our governments are all approving #FossilFuel projects like mad, while PRETENDING to be reducing emissions!
eg, the fraudulent Safeguard Mechanism which relies on #OFFSETS - dodgy tree planting schemes!

Read #IUCN specialist, Virginia Young, on the #Nature Reform bill being rammed thru parliament tomorrow: It totally fails to protect nature, needs big amendments, & it will 'green light' mining, logging & development!!
(& #OFFSETS = pay to destroy schemes!)

SO ANGRY ABOUT THIS!
#Offsets are an abomination! aka "Pay to destroy" schemes.
Why is Murray-in-a-hurry trying to ram this legislation thru on Weds without proper scrutiny?
#EPBC reforms don't favour #Nature, only mining, industry, business, developers & other destroyers.

🗣️ We call on Indonesia & ALL other States to course correct & choose real #ClimateAction:
🔹 Stop betting on dangerous distractions like carbon capture & storage #CCS and #Offsets
🔹 #EndFossilFuels & #PayUp
🔹 Reform the climate talks & #KickBigPollutersOut!
Professor Graeme Samuel voiced his support for #offsets to deliver #netgain and to be #likeforlike, and criticized "buy[ing] your way out of the problem" in terms of damage to habitat.
Unfortunately, that's exactly what the draft legislation allows for!
(3/3) But climate #scientists warn that industry’s favoured voluntary solutions—carbon #offsets, #biofuels & “efficiency-based” measures—cannot deliver the deep, sustained cuts needed to preserve a habitable planet: www.desmog.com/2025/11/10/m...
Negotiators: Choose real #ClimateAction.
Don't fall for the #CarbonCasino scam where communities, their lands & livelihoods are the chips. Stop betting on dangerous distractions like carbon capture & storage #CCS and #Offsets.

There will be plenty of spontaneous combustion as corporations, regulators, consultancies go into furious overdrive manufacturing greenwashed "figures/facts", while dismissing and ignoring peer reviewed research that puts a lie to their claims
ASSAf publishes policy brief on air quality offsets as an air quality management instrument.
This article provides an overview of this new approach.

🇪🇺 In the next few weeks, the EU is set to finalise the new 2040 #ClimateTargets.
❌ But the proposal sticks to the #NetZero playbook, relying on international #offsets and #CarbonRemovals instead of real emissions cuts.
We need to move beyond net zero — and take meaningful steps toward #RealZero!
Missed last week: #Carbon #offsets fail to cut #globalheating due to ‘intractable’ systemic problems;
less than 16% of #carboncredits investigated showed real reductions in #greenhousegas #emissions

52 REDD+ projects from 12 countries show greater climate benefits than previous studies but low efficacy overall. Less than 20% of the projects met their emissions targets. Project success and overestimation both varied considerably between countries

"A growing number of studies have found that the most widely used carbon offset programs continue to greatly overestimate their probable climate impact", see article in the Guardian.
#carbon #offsets 🧪🌍

Once again, carbon offsets don't reduce emissions.
Companies should do them only if they:
1. Are voluntary. Sure, do offsets for marketing purposes or investor requirements, but companies should ...
2. Still pay for their emissions (e.g. carbon taxes) […]
Once more for the people in the back #Offsets. Are. A. Scam. Deep and fast corporate CO2 emission reductions are what is needed. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
According to a Commission presentation seen by @politico.eu, the EU could end up buying #offsets worth 430 million metric tons of emissions by 2040.
That's roughly the combined annual emissions of #France and #Belgium 👇
