Carbon offsetting still features in many corporate, government and international climate policies. We know about the limits, flaws, and scandals of carbon offsets, but this does not stop it. 2/10
Despite everything we know, #carbonoffsetting is baked into this phase of the capitalist ‘green economy’. It has become institutionally embedded through #climate policy circles and it offers companies and governments cheap ways to appear green. 3/10
Simply planting trees is not enough. To provide a solution to the climate crisis and alleviate poverty, it is essential to take a holistic approach to tree growing that is driven by local experts and the communities that depend on the trees for survival. bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…
At TREE AID, we not only work in partnership with communities to grow trees that support the local environment and restore degraded land, we also ensure that communities have the access and tools they need to manage and protect their forests, now and in the future.
We plant on degraded and carbon poor soils, ensuring a diverse mix of tree species that provide both short and long term benefits to people and the environment.

But monoculture isn't ideal. These are the points you made in the article.
But the headline is very misleading about the importance topic. It could give ammunition to those who deny or doubt scientific consensus on climate change

Let‘s start this thread with the points we agree on @SasjaBeslik:
1 Global warming is a systemic problem and should be addressed first and foremost on a systemic level. Oil companies, airlines, governments and a profit orientated financial and economic system are responsible for the destruction of our planet and for the injustice related to it.
