Culture

A super advanced civilization in books written by Iain M. Banks. The best way to put it is that a 28th century Terp would say that they are a bit left wing.

"The Culture, they're a big left wing," K‡x'otsemu, a 28th century Terp, said.

Click

A sound made by putting the back on the tongue on the back top of the mouth(the velar part) and the tip of the tongue behind the teeth, on the flat part behind the teeth, or the ridge, and pulling down with the tongue to create a pressure difference that when released, produces a pop-like consonant. A click can also be made by separating the lips. Khoisan and some Bantu languages, such as Ju|oansi and Xhosa, have many clicks in them, as does Tëlþuilgöç.

Khoisan dozens of different clicks in addition to mroe common consonants.

Carbon Credits

A SCHEME and a SCAM.

A SCHEME by the rich to continue their polluting guilt free, while the poor will have to make sacrifices for the environment so the rich can continue to pollute.

A SCAM because there is no independent auditing/verification the scheme is helping the environment.

Anyone can sell carbon credits, but how can it be verified they performed the promised tasks? How much was actually spent on reducing carbon emmisions?

Screw the environment, I'm gonna carbon credit my way to becoming a billionaire!
