We need verified emission data that has high coverage and that has the entire product life time calculated and is comparable to their peers. The longer we stick with black box ESG ratings that are shown to be not correlated with actual sustainability, the longer we are trying to solve this thing with your eyes closed. We need data points that show what the companies are doing so that the financial markets can figure out where the least amount of sustainability risks are.

David and Al built a carbon trading system they havent been able to monetize for 20 years. They need a panic to get people using it and paying to subscribe to it.

"One of the most important lessons I learnt in my life of struggle for freedom and peace is that in any conflict there comes a point when neither side can claim to be right and the other wrong, no matter how much that might have been the case at the start of a conflict."
~Nelson Mandela
during a video message for the signing of the Geneva Accord, December 2003

But give us your money anyway.

Climate change is something Greta Thunberg advocates for. I think it's about time we address environmental progression and stagnation that contributes to climate-related changes.
