Watchdog Says 90% of Chevron's Carbon Offsets Are "Junk"
--------------------------------------------------------

A new investigation from the watchdog group Corporate Accountability
finds that over 90% of Chevron's carbon offsets are "junk," with some
likely contributing to the climate crisis and creating social harm.
Environmental and Indigenous activists have long opposed the idea of
carbon offsets as corporate greenwashing.

In related news, the city of Hoboken in New Jersey is suing Chevron,
Exxon and other oil companies over racketeering charges for knowingly
deceiving the public of the climate risks of its industry.
