Re carbon offsets - assuming the market and oversight tightens up controls to insure real GHG benefit, I’m interested in the impact on reducing deforestation and increasing investment in remediation efforts that should happen anyway, but might happen sooner. I’d also like to watch the cost curves of validated quality credits vs carbon emission mitigation technologies... what we want to see is that there is an acceleration to carbon emission elimination and no need for credit markets.

I think it's junk. If the science is there and the market approves, emissions will lower. Government picking winners and losers or setting arbitrary offsets is rent-seeking.
