This ACMI is another example of a “granfalloon” ala Kurt Vonnegut in Cat’s Cradle.
If you can puff up an organization in size and scope and directors, it can obtain an image of authority where none actually exists, but all manner of people will buy into it, just like a ponzi scheme or any other con.
Now watch - you put your money under this cup, I shift the cups around, Africa gets the money and the polluter gets the indulgences! It’s magical! Yet more carbon gets burned, and the people of Africa get burned by not getting proper funding for energy transition, and the money-traders in their financial temples are just rolling in it. Everything to do with carbon “markets” and carbon pricing is bogus; oxygen pricing would shift the funds directly from the polluters (global North) to the victims (global South). https://kathleenmccroskey.substack.com/p/can-oxygen-pricing-help-save-the
