Paging AlGore, you have a special email from a Nigerian general who wants to buy zillions of carbon credits from you. He only needs your bank account number and routing number and you'll be even RICHER than you are now!

Carbon credits just reminds me of tulip bulb mania. Only tulips actually have some miniscule real-world value. Watching people pay good money for an illusion is just baffling.

I especially liked one of the last items in the story:

“The United Nations’ Framework on Climate Change (UNFCCC) said it was working closely with national registries to ensure their systems were secure.”

Yeah, like THAT’s gonna make sure everything is safe and secure. Riiiiigghht.

If we can’t always trust the UN, who CAN we trust? /sarc

People who didn’t buy into the scam in the first place didn’t get ripped off.

The criminals are believed to have created fake emissions registries

The real criminals are the ones who created the real emissions registries.
