The financial markets really like the offsets schemes because of the deeply-imbedded possibilities of profit, as well as putting on a big show to appear that they are doing all they can for the “environment.” Of course their activities do nothing for the environment except to add further damage and misallocate funds required for mitigation and adaptation. that, along with the _fact_ that all of life was already fully involved in the carbon cycle, so that trying to add extra schemes to that is meaningless. All CO2 entering the atmosphere behaves exactly the same, regardless of being “fossil” or “bio” source, and you can’t tell the difference between the two except by some differences in isotope number.
