Markets were supposed to save us. Carbon offsets, ESG funds, green subsidies, climate finance — the financialization of climate policy promised to align profits with the planet’s future. But somewhere between good intentions and boardroom strategies, something broke.

In this episode, we follow the money: how climate action became a trillion-dollar market, who profits from “carbon neutrality,” and why well-meaning policies often miss the mark. From phantom offsets and greenwashed portfolios to carbon border taxes and climate diplomacy, we unpack the tools, the loopholes, and the politics that define the fight for a livable future.

We’ll also examine the myths that still persist — from climate denial to delay — and spotlight the power struggles behind the world’s most urgent crisis.

This isn’t just about emissions. It’s about economics, geopolitics, and how the climate crisis is reshaping both.
