Carbon Offsets: Dude, Where's My Trees?
Manage episode 381904836 series 3374294
Carbon offsets seemed a neat idea: pay poor people in the Global South not to cut down trees, and then use that "avoided" carbon to sell credits to polluters in developed countries. Bish bosh, your Delta Airlines flight or VW SUV is carbon neutral. What could possibly go wrong?
Neil and Jonathan pick through the rubble of the South Pole scandal with environmental consultant Andrew Garraway to find exactly what did.
Presented by Jonathan Ford and Neil Collins.
With Andrew Garraway.
Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.
