Most? According to that graphic all carbon offset projects are a scam. It's just that for 8 of them where they couldn't confirm that they were a scam and for 3 of them they didn't have enough information to say if they were scams - which is to say they're probably even more of a scam than the others.

That graph is only the ones they looked at, which they say is about a third.

So there’s about 100 more scams that they didn’t even look in to.
