When you buy a carbon offset, you are buying an indulgence to assuage the guilt from your emissions, since in no way are you going to actually even think of reducing your actual emissions. Therefore it is essential that there be this extra layer in the offsets market that “shamewashes” (or make up some better name) the carbon offset so that no guilt over the cruel imposition of these fortress-conservation projects carries forward onto the end-purchaser. And regarding the logging, no “underdeveloped” nation is going to forego any revenue source available to earn foreign exchange while they are under the burden of foreign debt - they will find a way to shamewash the forest product sales as well.
