Carbon credits have little to no effect on making companies greener, study reveals

Many companies across the world use carbon credits as part of their climate strategies to offset emissions. A carbon credit is a certificate that represents the reduction, avoidance or removal of one ton of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. While organizations claim these credits help them reduce their environmental impact, there is debate about whether companies that buy credits decarbonize faster. However, an in-depth study of 89 multinationals, published in Nature Communications, reveals that companies that purchase credits do not decarbonize any quicker than those that do not.

Chimps Preparing for a MoMe?

H/T: Mister Ghost in comments early today

In the wild, chimpanzees likely ingest the equivalent of several alcoholic drinks every day

The first-ever measurements of the ethanol content of fruits available to chimpanzees in their native African habitat show that the animals could easily consume the equivalent of more than two standard alcoholic drinks each day, according to researchers at the University of California, Berkeley.

It's not clear whether they actively seek out fruit with high ethanol levels, which are typically riper fruit with more sugars to ferment. But the availability of ethanol in many species of fruit that they normally eat suggests that alcohol is a regular part of their diet and likely was a part of the diets of our human ancestors.

Article is from the same site as that carbon credits article above. Typical lefty "science". They can't help but throw in a definitive line about evolution ("our human ancestors"). Whatever. Let the chimps get their drink on!

Big things happening with Bitcoin. Have YOU been orange-pilled? The Orange Man has.

Your humble host is a Bitcoin believer. Seems like not too many here are. Maybe I'm wrong? Perhaps you're not ready for it. But your kids are gonna love it!

Rush was one of a kind. As was Charlie. Neither will ever be replicated or replaced.
