Great report and video! "he gets suspicious when money is involved." Exactly! There is no free lunch, yet lots of free promises. What is almost said here is what I've been trying to say, is that these carbon (pollution) projects represent theft by the proponents, theft of an intrinsic value of the forest for financial gain, along with an imaginary "patent" for that theft so no other carbon cowboy can sell "credits" from the same land. Note that even having actual FIPC does not make up for this theft of an intrinsic value of the Commons being transferred to a financial player.
