      This is great, and congrats to Microsoft. But: for announcements of this type, I wonder how compliance ought to be tracked. It will be easy for companies (and countries) to generate some good publicity, but then not make the changes needed.https://twitter.com/jmanooch/status/1217876379485818880 …

      Bang. @Microsoft says enough is enough on carbon. - science based, #limitsconsensus - net zero emissions by 2030 including upstream emissions - programs to help clients avoid/remove downstream emissions Just copy this, every corporation everywhere. https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2020/01/16/microsoft-will-be-carbon-negative-by-2030/ …

      Yep. Would be great if there was some independent accountability website. Did the company follow through? How sensible is what they’re spending the money on?

          Yes, that would great! Similarly: I believe the count of countries committed to carbon neutrality by 2050 stands at about 60. Interesting to think about good accountability mechanisms to prevent political theatre.

          One interesting suggestion that I've heard is to have the government(s) issue a bond which pays out depending on how badly the government misses its target. e.g. if the government misses its target by 5%, the bond pays a 5% yield, etc. Have this determined by an independent body.

          (Suspect a number of companies would be interested in funding this if anyone is working on it.)

          Startup Idea: decarbonization accounting. Call it DEC Take a product and verify the pipeline of production is decarbonized. Consult with businesses about how to get verification. Get vendor referral fees for the cost of transition.

          B-corp ratings exist, but agree some site that goes deeper/has accountability would be cool

          Curious: what additional mechanisms does a B-corp have to commit to carbon neutrality?

          IMHO better would be an upgrade in formal reporting. MSFT listing first on @ericries Long Term Stock Exchange would be epic. As @michael_nielsen knows (from his recent climate research!) carbon offset has wobbly baselines, so even explicit voluntary reporting can have probs.
