I was reading about China and carbon credits.
Is there graft and corruption in carbon credits just like the stock market.

1. Is there ANY area of human endeavor where graft and corruption DON'T exist?
I'd love to hear of it is there is.

I presume your argument is that since there is graft and corruption in a given area of related to carbon control, then that area is tainted and it isn't worth/shouldn't be/can't be implemented, right?

I take it you see the fallacy now...
