I watched 4 Corners ABC TV concerning this company buying carbon credits for big polluters and paying villagers in Papua New Guinea (PNG) near nothing, but instead of saving their forests they are commercially logging them.
The PNG regime has sanctioned the scam and these companies buying the carbon credits are being cheated out of their dollars and credits.
The poor villagers who are uneducated in knowing any different are asked to sign off on carbon credits and don’t know that these companies are exploiting them. This is called carbon colonisation. In other words, scammers and fraudsters. This scam is happening all around the world where developing-world people can be exploited. These are mainly poor people who don’t know any better.
Please have a hard think about the situation.
