Why don\u2019t voluntary or compliance carbon offset markets work? The numbers simply don\u2019t add up. A lack of connection between the certificates and the physical inventory means that both parties\u2014the seller and buyer\u2014take credit for a reduction in emissions. And this double counting (issuing two certificates for a single credit) leads to a surplus of certificates under which the associated markets crash and burn. The good news is, the blockchain will allow us to start over and do the math correctly.\n\n--- \n\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/reversingclimatechange/support
