Reply to Are We Building Carbon Markets on Evidence or Assumptions?

The biochar industry should insist on rigorous MRV, but that rigor should not be translated into the greatest conceivable monitoring burden. The appropriate standard should be proportional to the demonstrated risk. Sometimes it seems to me that environmentalists eat their young. We want to show high integrity but what we end up with is…
