    I read and didn't understand. I read it again and again. I didn't understand. Carbon credits, peat moss, low demand, bad prices, brexit, covid19, etc, etc.

    More lost than the blind in a firefight.

    Mornin' Brasileiro...
    Let me try to help you out here...

    - As you maybe are aware..., infinite extractive growth, based on wild capitalism principles..., ain't no sustainable long term system for this little planet of ours no more...

    - Said the above..., CARBON CREDITS are one of the last WILD CAPITALISM “BRAINCHILDS”..., to perpetuate its INFINITE EXTRACTIVE GROWTH MANTRA..., as long as possible...

    - “ The excellent Engrish journalist.., essayist..., environmentalist...,political activist and overall nice guy..., Mr. GEORGE JOSHUA RICHARD MONBIOT..., famously compared carbon offsetting with the middle-ages Catholic church practice of selling INDULGENCES..., where absolution from sins and supposed release from purgatory would be given in exchange for financial donations to the church, allowing the rich to feel better about their behaviour without changing....”

    - Please find attached below a well written journalistic article on the Malvinas Carbon Credits case..., that may shed some light on the above's obscure & uninformative MercoPress article...:

    Saludos from what has an outstanding day!

    I completely agree with THINKs appraisal of his referenced article which I would adopt at our modest farm here in Chile.

    Why not can we too capture carbon by absorbing the waste into healthy beneficial oxygen too!

    Nicholas Roberts concludes: “Once these have been completed, the funding mechanism for further restoration should be chosen.”

    There are several opportunities for our modest farm to contribute to global health which include avocados and delicious table grapes.

    ¡Saludos de 3000mt!
