But if WWF is serious about climate change, why Gold Standard accepts only renewable energy projects? This means reduction of CO2 only. There are 5 other greenhouse gases, all of them with much greater GWP than CO2. So if WWF wants to help fight global warming, Gold Standard should embrace methane, N2O, PFC, HFC23 and SF6 reductions as well. Only then it will be truly Gold.
