Indigenous people of Kenya have been evicted from their ancestral forest lands – so the forest can be used and sold as carbon offset credits. It’s Sciencetm!, or may be It’s Businesstm!
Dr Justin Kenrick from the Forest People’s Programme said that carbon credits and offsetting were “key” to what was happening.
The developing global carbon credit market allows a polluter to emit carbon dioxide or other climate-heating gas and pay a forest owner to capture those emissions through the carbon-absorption power of their trees.

Bill Gates and other elites fly their private jets around the globe, telling us not to fly – they justify their planet sized carbon footprints by buying carbon offsets on forests that were never likely to be cut down anyway.
This is surely the way to stop all climate change.
