At the UN Biodiversity Convention in Panama, Indigenous leaders raised the alarm: planned use of #GMO trees as “carbon offsets” threaten lands, forests & communities—especially in #Brazil.

Thanks Mike! I wrote a post on REDD-Monitor about that paper a couple of weeks ago:

Very interesting... I couldn't resist commenting where someone wrote "And sponsored by The Nature Conservancy that i trust!"

Do I look like I need another carbon credit rabbit hole?

🚨 Green Home gave rewards to people who enrolled others into the scheme. There were no trees and no carbon credits. People were duped into thinking they were protecting the environment and addressing the climate crisis.

🌳 Green Home sold investments in virtual trees on an app. The company claimed that the virtual trees corresponded to real tree planting or forest protection projects. They didn’t.

🔥 The trees were supposed to generate carbon credits. And a crypto coin was planned.

@timschwab.bsky.social - @ketanjoshi.co's take on Bill Gates' nonsense on the climate crisis is well worth a read.
