Is someone physically verifying the people reducing emissions are actually doing so? And would the people getting paid have reduced emissions anyways, perhaps due to rising costs?

This program may give the appearance that it maintains net emissions. However, I am skeptical that it actually does what it claims but instead lets folks pay other folks for no good reason. Instead that money could be increasing efficiency, which would guarantee it reduces net emissions.
