Another good piece. Have you done an overview of IFC’s carbon work ?

Thanks John! I've not done an overview of IFC's carbon work - I probably should do at some point . . .

Here's my collection of posts featuring IFC: https://reddmonitor.substack.com/t/ifc

I appreciate your determined effort to call out these carbon offset scandals. It's truly disheartening to consider the volume and power of these sociopaths.

Chris, thank you for this thorough story. I was a customer of Aspiration, just with an ordinary account. When they began, I had respect for what they were trying to do. However, as a tree biologist, I became skeptical of carbon offset projects. They clearly were designed to make money for investors, not to accomplish any real conservation of trees or carbon. I quite Aspiration before they went under. I was shocked from your article to discover how deep a hole Sanberg and his cohort had dug.
