Two climate scientists go rogue to expose a global carbon credit fraud that's selling the planet's future.
Shot across four continents over three years, The Carbon Merchants follows two rogue scientists who discover that the $2 billion global carbon credit market is riddled with phantom forests, falsified satellite data, and complicit governments. As their investigation deepens, the personal costs mount — careers destroyed, relationships severed, and their own safety at risk. A landmark documentary about the gap between climate promises and climate reality.
