Two major stories today that should be a reminder -- relying on buying forest offsets CANNOT be core to any decarbonization / net-zero plan.
1. Forest fires in Oregon are currently burning a large forest offset project. This happened last year as well

If you think things can't change, #Bolsonaro in the last 48 hours has been forced to:
1) Sent the military to the Amazon
