Poor integrity of carbon offsets :

"all key market participants benefit from inflated claims about carbon credits"

www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Auditors can’t save carbon offsets

The theory behind carbon offset projects is appealing: Instead of an organization cutting its own emissions, it can fund lower-cost carbon-reducing projects elsewhere to “offset” its emissions. The re...

this is exactly the limit of this model and i'm interested to see how this can be solved. Should we hunt for reviewer in similar fashion? Should we, as reviewers decide to spend x hours a week/month on such a platform ? should there be levels of reviewing? reviewer vs commentors vs moderators ?

Paper alert!📢Schmid et al. find new insights on lower crustal deformation during early rifting. Quantified XRCT-scanned model of block rotation during rift segment interaction reveals coupling processes between brittle and ductile deformation. More info:

During rifting, blocks of upper brittle crust may rotate about a vertical axis above the ductile parts of the crust below, in particular in settings where two rift segments interact in a so-called…
