Carbon markets are the latest money-making scheme of the financial industry, promoted by the big names on Wall Street, and this carbon market system gives them (fake) credibility that they are “doing something for the environment” while covering for all the evil they do around the world.

Oxygen-pricing on the other hand, looks at what an intact forest has to _offer_ rather than what it supposedly takes away, and the people are actually funded for leaving the forest be, while the burners of fuels get dinged (big time) for stealing oxygen from the commons to oxidize their fuels.
