355: Is a Carbon Credit Registry Creating Methodologies an Inherent Conflict of Interest?—w/ Peter Minor, Co-Founder & CEO of Absolute Climate
Many a business was launched in carbon credits trying to fix a conflict of interest problem. Has Absolute Climate cracked the code? Should registries get out of the methodology development business?
Peter Minor, CEO and Co-Founder of Absolute Climate, is on the show today to talk about the many issues of trying to create an ultimate standard in carbon removal (hence the amazing xkcd meme), and how he thinks the current system is set up to fail.
Are we doomed to always face conflicts of interest? Do we inevitably end up thinking not in terms of ultimate design victory, but balance of power? Is it all just "a dogfight in the Wild West?" Can we all agree upon the same standard?
Listen in to Peter and Ross think the big thoughts and try to white hat hack the system to advance CDR.
