Republicans upset with carbon offsets

Excerpt:

The congressmen’s first letter this month, sent on Jan. 14, called the relatively new field of purchasing carbon offsets “good faith transactions,” saying there are “no proven safeguard(s)” to make sure offset companies, like the Chicago Climate Exchange that the House used, fulfill their promises.

“We don’t want carbon offsets to become the 21st century version of snake oil and patent medicine,” Barton and Shimkus wrote.
