PeerJ Video Abstract for 'California air resources board forest carbon protocol invalidates offsets' by Bruno D.V. Marino​, Martina Mincheva, and Aaron Doucett https://peerj.com/articles/7606/

Researchers review and analyze commercial forest carbon protocols, claimed to have reduced net greenhouse gas emissions, issued by the California Air Resources Board and validated by the Climate Action Reserve (CARB-CAR). Following the study, the researchers suggest that CARB-CAR and related protocols include Net Ecosystem Exchange methodology for commercial forest carbon offsets to standardize methods, ensure in situ molecular specificity, verify claims of carbon emission reduction and harmonize carbon protocols for voluntary and compliance markets worldwide.
