The burning of #wood in power and heat stations, and the industrial use of #charcoal, are expanding rapidly worldwide, at the expense of forests (and therefore our future).
This is driven by a combination of renewable energy targets and subsidies, #coal phaseout policies that support wood #biomass as an alternative, the exemption of biomass from carbon taxes and pricing and, in parts of the global South, carbon-#offsetting schemes.

The NSW biodiversity credits market
"NSW pricing watchdog recommends overhaul of biodiversity offsets scheme. Tribunal found developers were paying into fund five times faster than the Biodiversity Conservation Trust was able to find required offsets."
"The report said a submission the tribunal received from the Independent Commission Against Corruption noted “inadequate governance arrangements undermine confidence and introduce the risk of corruption”.

“Swift could plant trees in a creative way. Suppose Swift created an Eras forest in every city she visits and located them in the poorest neighborhoods…urban forests create additional benefits, such as improving air quality and reducing heat-island effect.

Nature Market
"Many experts have been highly sceptical of using market forces to reverse the damage we’ve done to nature.""Australians woke up this morning to discover they had a nature repair market, after the legislation passed late last night. Except it won’t be called a market, after amendments by the Greens, and it won’t include biodiversity offsets."
"Australia needs to act and act quickly to protect and restore nature where further degradation would be difficult or impossible to reverse....This could take a couple of years..."

Native forest logging ban in Tasmania could save state $72m, pro-market thinktank says
"Analysis recommends the government stop subsidising its forestry arm and generate carbon credits, a move likely to be opposed by industry and conservationists. The taxpayer should not be subsidising environmental degradation to indulge the anti-competitive, protectionist fantasies of a small number of individuals with outdated and romanticised views of an industry."
"Tasmanian environment organisations say the state should follow Victoria and Western Australia in phasing out native logging next year without allowing forests to be used to offset ongoing pollution. The Australia Institute has launched a campaign arguing “turning Australia’s forests into carbon offsets for the fossil fuel industry will only mean more pollution and more climate change”.

"#Offsetting has been hailed as a fix for runaway emissions and #climate change—but the market’s largest firm sold millions of credits for carbon reductions that weren’t real."
Yet another remarkable investigation on the carbon offsetting scam.

Australia is at a turning point
250 years of extinctions and degradation is enough.
Every indicator on the environment is going in the wrong direction.
The environment must be given legal priority over land-clearing and logging to survive."The Henry review is the latest in a number reports that have found Australia’s natural environment is in peril. The five-yearly state of the environment released last year found it was in poor and deteriorating health due to pressure from climate change, habitat loss, invasive species, pollution and mining."
"Dr Ken Henry (Chair of the Australian Climate and Biodiversity Foundation) says NSW’s biodiversity laws are failing and must be overhauled to give nature protection primacy over l o g g i n g , mining and urban expansion...Australia’s environment must be given legal priority over land-clearing and logging to survive."
"He made the comments after leading a scathing review of the New South Wales Biodiversity Conservation Act, which said the laws were failing and were likely to never succeed unless they were overhauled to give n a t u r e p r o t e c t i o n primacy over development, logging, mining and urban expansion."
“Legislation that deals with rural lands and rural land-clearing, in particular, [but also] legislation that deals with planning, with f o r e s t r y , with mining – you name it, all of those other acts have p r i m a c y over the biodiversity and conservation act, and they are undermining its effectiveness..That’s the biggest problem."
"On nature, Henry’s recommendations included the creation of “no-go” zones in which land-clearing would be banned and major changes to the state’s biodiversity offset scheme, which was found to be “compromised”."
“Fix the biodiversity offset scheme, strengthen environmental protections and stop runaway land-clearing"#IntergenerationalTragedy #Offsetting #climate #Logging #StopLogging #NativeForest #Australia #policy #environment #law #biodiversity #extinction

@ZaneSelvans not quite as bad as it first sounded. At least they are accounting for the carbon credit losses due to the 2021 forest fires. And although the insurance buffer is currently big enough to cover the loses, they’re redoing their calculations and will enforce a bigger buffer in line with projections. It’s still not the answer, that’s just stop oil, but it’s something #offsetting

@mrchrisadams I'd say lobbying (including strategic litigation) is a much more risky investment, as you can't guarantee results or even that outcomes will monotonically increase with increasing expenditure.
On the least worst side of #offsetting there's e.g. #Compensate Oy, can't find their advisors on the fediverse though:
https://compensatefoundation.org/I'd rather buy & retire allowances from the #ETS.
Not sure how to fund refining improvements without funding the general expansion of refiners.
