#Shell sold millions of 'phantom' #CarbonCredits to Canadian oil sands firms - FT
"Shell sold millions of carbon credits tied to CO2 removal that never took place to #Canada's largest oil sands companies, Financial Times reported Sunday, raising new doubts about a technology seen as important in reducing greenhouse gas emissions."
"The draft cites cases where #CarbonCredits have failed to deliver the #climate benefits they tout.
Staff also reviewed evidence showing some schemes sell more carbon credits than the projects can deliver on, or exaggerate the emission reductions they achieve."
Google be like: we won't do anything meaningful to reduce carbon emissions but we will greenwash our image by buying these ultra-useful carbon removal credits worth $35M
