Carbon Credit Demand Soars

Microsoft's pause on carbon credit buying (article 7) directly matches the falsification criteria of major tech firms cutting back carbon removal spending, rattling the market. This offsets the general market growth forecast and hyperscaler entry into carbon credits, while Microsoft's rising emissions (article 1) undercut the narrative of confidently expanding removal commitments.

Predicted 7 November 2025
Validated 3 June 2026
Horizon short
What would prove this wrong

Big tech firms cut back carbon removal spending, demand or prices for verified carbon credits fall, or major reforestation contracts are cancelled rather than expanded within the period.
