A few months ago, @chichicheree, @phamhaduylinh, and I sat down with Khoa, a convicted wildlife trafficker, as he recalled his Catch Me If You Can-like story of corruption, feuds, rodents, and big cats (🧵) https://t.co/6E8nh9Kp6n via @restofworld

#COP26: GREENWASH ALERT!

The fossil fuel industry & banks caused are among the biggest climate villains. Now @Shell @BP & @StanChart are here in Glasgow trying to scale up offsetting & give polluters a free pass to keep polluting. Their plan could trash the 1,5°C goal.

As if REDD+, carbon credits and the deliberately acronym-laden bureaucracy that surrounds them weren't problematic enough, VCMs face less regulations. As @AshLampard explains, this is changing & what's important is that those changing them see our world as their ashtray. #COP26

[Ashley Lampard @AshLampard]

The future of VCMs is still undecided, but will have a prominent position at COP26, with VCM events hosted by the Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity initative, the UK Government and Unilever.

The web of influence is extensive - spreading from governments like the UK, US and Norway, to oil majors like Shell, banks like Standard Charted and green groups like ART. But many feel that the industry has not yet found solutions for its long history of issues.

@propublica and The New York Times Magazine, with support from the @pulitzercenter, have for the first time modeled how climate refugees might move across international borders. This is what we found.

Somehow a California-born hospitality magnate making up colonial history just doesn’t sit right. No idea why. Great piece from @ZukasJoshua.

Ksor Hbo Khap was laughed at when she stood up in #Vietnam’s National Assembly and suggested the need for a solar panel recycling plan. But waste created by the solar power industry is no joke in Southeast Asia, @JohneeNguyen writes:

Joss paper burning has reached a new level in Vietnam. People now burn paper Pfizer vaccines for the deceased. It is remarkable that two doses are included.

A bonus for anyone that makes it to the end of the article and sees mention of a French Bulldog eating a ‘fist-sized ball of raw meat’. Here is that dog. Here is that balled meat.

Thanks, @restofworld for being the only publication to take on a wild story like this, @PeterGuest for helping me tell it, and @phamhaduylinh for taking such amazing pictures, like this:

It wasn’t dissimilar to a lot of tech entrepreneur origin stories: a 16-year-old high school dropout built an empire online with a bit of bonsai shop money and dedication. The only difference being, the location was Saigon, and the goods were, initially, squirrels.
