Carbon credits are nothing more than mob-like protection. Sort of like the local grocer having to play Guido (or these days Derrell or Jose) so his mob (or gang) won’t tear up his store.
Yup...and the grocer has to raise his prices to compensate for the 'hit' and passes that cost on to you. It's just another tax and another notch down in our loss of freedom.
This too will be corrected during the revolution.
