A SCHEME and a SCAM.
A SCHEME by the rich to continue their polluting guilt free, while the poor will have to make sacrifices for the environment so the rich can continue to pollute.
A SCAM because there is no independent auditing/verification the scheme is helping the environment.
Anyone can sell carbon credits, but how can it be verified they performed the promised tasks? How much was actually spent on reducing carbon emmisions?
Screw the environment, I'm gonna carbon credit my way to becoming a billionaire!

I brominated thiophene to 2-Bromothiophene with bromine in Carbon Tetrachloride.
Carbon chauvinism is a relatively new term meant to disparage the assumption that extraterrestrial life will resemble life on Earth. The term was used as early as 1973, when Carl Sagan described it and other human chauvinisms that limit imagination of possible extraterrestrial life.
Scientist 1: "All forms of terrestrial life must be carbon-based."
Scientist 2: "Dude, that's carbon chauvinism...silicone is a possible building block of life. Just look at breast implants."

Not real carbon fiber. A cheap alternative that looks similar. Usually found accenting the air vents and dash boards of Ricer Hondas.
Ricer: Damn DAWG, check out that Carbon Fiber in that dudes CAR!
Enthusiast: Thats not carbon fiber, thats carbon fibber.
A now passe, nearly prehistoric term for a clone or exact copy.
She is a carbon copy of her mother, down to every detail!

When you cannot find a partner and end up wining and dining a piece of coal. You feel let down after the date never went as well as you had hoped due to one way conversation! Perhaps next time I will join in!
Im so lonely I have started carbon dating
