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
As the #BootlegFire burns out of control in Oregon — with critical implications for public safety, air quality, and forest health — we can report that another large forest offset project appears to be on fire. (1/10)

There is not a single climate scenario that decarbonizes energy and land use fast enough to keep us under 1.5C or 2C without also significantly *reducing* the energy and land use of rich nations. That is a fact, and we should be talking about it.

If you think things can't change, #Bolsonaro in the last 48 hours has been forced to: 1) Sent the military to the Amazon 2) Praise the very environmental laws he has long derided 3) State that laws, including environmental ones, will be enforced That's all huge.
