Millions of dollars have gone into California’s forest carbon offset program – with little new carbon storage to show for it, a new study suggests.

Many of the companies promising “net-zero” emissions to protect the climate are relying on vast swaths of forests and what are known as carbon offsets to meet that goal.

When we looked at satellite tracking of carbon levels and logging activity in California forests, we found that carbon isn’t increasing in the state’s 37 offset project sites any more than in other areas, and timber companies aren’t logging less than they did before.

New research published in the journal raises alarming questions about the efficacy of forest carbon programs registered in California's cap-and-trade program. Utilizing satellite imagery, particularly of forests in Northwest California, researchers have compared the carbon sequestered by fores
