It is blatantly clear that carbon credits have absolutely no chance of even fractional reduction of CO2 emissions.

I can't really agree with that point. If you want to say they haven't resulted in a reduction of CO2 usage, or that they might not in the future, I'd agree. But "might not reduce", is a long way from "absolutely no chance of even a fractional reduction".

I'd say a fractional reduction is quite possible, and even a moderate (if expensive) reduction is possible (if a lot more difficult than most people think, since you'd have to get developing countries on board).

Of course "possible" isn't certain, or even "likely". Also I'd consider the type of really major reductions some people are calling for (like 80%) extremely unlikely, not matter what method is used, and also extremely damaging if they do happen.
