Here we have the Environmental Defense Fund and Conservation International opposing a California bill that would require the offsets industry to make accurate marketing statements.
Because truthful advertising would stifle investment.
Think about that.

The bill in Senator Limón's SB 1036, which would clarify how California's existing false advertising law applies to the carbon offsets industry.

Height of perversion this! Everyone wants "high-integrity" carbon offsets (as if that could ever be a thing) but the second CA offers to put a cop on the beat, the rest of the market says shhh, nothing to see here!

Either voluntary carbon offsets are so janky that truth in advertising will kill the market (but then it shouldn't exist anyway) OR they are arguing that the offsets are fine but this will scare investors away from a legit market. If the latter then strengthening standards should solve problem, no?

Yep. Sometimes the happy green mask slips off and it's clear we're not all working for the same things. But anyone who wants a livable future should be clear that 1) offsets are a polluter bait and switch and 2) EDF and CI provide green cover for the same old neoliberalism that's killing the planet.

Shocking, in a way. But in the grand scheme of things, it is not surprising that the "conservation industry" is behaving like many other industrial actors. #NatureBasedSolutions #Conservation
