Yes, the whole carbon-offsetting agenda is a lot of hot air but should the UN be this callous about buying into it and propping it up? Great investigation by @newhumanitarian and @MongabayOrg kudos to @6oldberg @LSalzenstein @BrSarahTr and Shaz Syed thenewhumanitarian.org/inves…

This article by @JohnWoodrowCox is almost exactly a year old, but is still relevant today. I came across it again by chance today and it's still one of the most powerful texts I've ever read. "Hundreds of kids witness parents shot to death" washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…
Hundreds of kids witness parents shot to death. This is what it does to them.

Hundreds of kids witness parents shot to death. This is what it does to them.
