The best carbon credit is from forest stewardship resulting in reduced conversion of forests... Here is how I delayed climate change. Alone most of the time, I protected 36.068 hectares of the last lowland rainforest in the United States for approximately 15 years. With this stewardship, the forest sequestered carbon at the carbon removal rate of 25.3 tons CO2 per hectare per year. Thus, the forest removed up to 912.5 tons of carbon dioxide per year from the atmosphere. Doing so saved the lives of up to three people, simply as the Mortality Cost of Carbon. The resulting carbon credit is worth the scientifically estimated ultimate cost to humanity that ranges from $10,000 to $750,000 per ton based on details of the geophysical and economic scenarios.
