Good article - however, it's a bit sloppy around conflating renewable energy generation and "green economy". At the top he states that increased renewables is leading to increase in CO2 emissions, but every example given is related to carbon offsetsl, carbon credit, and carbon accounting schemes in capitalism used to greenwash actual fossil fuel growth. Which, in my view, is not dependent on renewables production.

Anyway, the problem is capitalism and O&G taking advantage of carbon schemes to increase profits, rather than real work towards degrowth and renewables replacing O&G use.
