Absolutely.  This is the quantitative fallacy at it's worst.  It's why carbon trading will never work either.

Turn the food of life into a numbers game and you turn life itself into a numbers game.  Quality becomes secondary.

Life with hollow status seeking lack of any real value system becomes the norm.  

The main intent is to reduce life to quanities that can be traded, pure profits being made by the traders, indpendent of any reality on the ground.  

The milk company the immediate example.  sell more milk through green labeling. Then on to carbon credit sales outfits.  The milk corporation can advertise, carbon free milk!  By buying carbon credits equal to the advertised quantity.  Does that mean they saved that much carbon per gallon?  

It's all being put on a trading platform, climate disaster, life and death, starvation and war.

Enough quantification is done right now to get this green energy/job revolution going.  Just put up 10 cents per solar, wind, or biogas kwh, and 5 cents for each kwh saved.  Forget all this calculation of artificial "instruments".

That's what they call them, the hedge fundies, financial instruments.  Don't let them use their instruments to try and fix climate problems.
