“Antonioli will be replaced by the organization’s current president, Judith Simon.”

In other words, the scam will continue to operate.

“The announcement comes after a recent investigation into the group found that approximately 90 percent of its so-called carbon credits are, essentially, worthless and have no measurable impact on carbon reductions.”

Well, duh!

There was a guy with a web page some years back.

He had or worked for a company that cleared land, for development, to clear trails, whatever.

He, for a while, sold carbon debits, based on the number of trees he cleared.

At least that was no scam.

I hope no one tells Al Gore that or it might be fatal.

Clearing trees for carbon credits or debits is a scam.

Al Gore is making money hand over fist so why would he care if they are worthless. His only worry is the gullible people finding out.

“ Antonioli has overseen a period of tremendous growth for the company. In the last two years alone Verra’s annual revenues have more than tripled, reaching $40.5 million a year. In 2021 it made 92% of its money by taking a cut from the sale of carbon credits.”

$350,000/yr + perks

Carbon credits are not worthless. Just ask Elon Musk. His car company has raked in billions on the carbon credit grift.

Did John Kerry-Heinz get his money out or is he going to double down and bet on a government bailout?
