Carbon credits- a detailed analysis of which kinds are valid

Re: Effectiveness of Carbon Credits For Forest Preservation
I did a detailed analysis of the validity of carbon offsets for the Ontario legislature in 2017. Some are valid; we did not find adequate evidence for most of the agricultural and forestry ones

@dsaxe Looks like a very detailed study, thank you for sharing!
Based on your research, it looks like refrigerant and fertilizer management are some of the highest leverage carbon offset methodologies.
Would you recommend doubling down on the approaches that have a (relatively) high chance of success or is there still value in continuing to trial other methods that don't currently stand up to scrutiny but potentially could at some point in the future?

@dsaxe If you were to just compare all of the functional approaches, which one do you think is most effective?
