I'm sure you're joking but i thought i would demonstrate the grift here anyway.
Let's say i own land with trees on it. Let's say that land is not doing anything when I get a call from someone trying to get carbon credits. They need my trees to be threatened with destruction so they can save them and claim credits. This will be valuable to them so they will pay me for my efforts. All i have to do is claim i want to do something with the land but this money stops me.
Nothing has changed except that I'm getting paid to keep trees that were never threatened, and the company is publicly taking credit for saving the planet.
