Default Re: Carbon Credits

My issue with carbon credits is two fold. Firstly, who really regulates the credit system anyway? Who makes sure the tree planting and carbon burial really takes place? and at that level? Secondly, who's pockets get lined with this process? I'd have to think that a lot of carbon credit companies are really offshoots of the companies doing the polluting. Essentially, they are paying themselves to clean up after... themselves?

I hope someone has more insight into this than I do.
