Did you? All of those phrases appear in it.

Just because a phrase appears, doesn't lead to what you said. "UNESCO" appears once, but no where says UN people "are being brought in to administer it".
UNESCO is an unelected NGO run by the United Nations based on another continent. There are plenty of other buzzwords such groups love such as "resilience" and "sustainability", which they have effectively redefined.
What "did I say"? Keep in mind that I am not nephihaha.
Those are real words, that’s true. The following however is anywhere from not true to wild speculation without any factual basis.

>Global responsibility sounds like the direct opposite of self-determination.

>Some United Nations NGO bureaucrats being brought in to administer it, without acknowledging local knowledge. Getting UNESCO to administer it is not "honoring indigenous traditions"

>Also "store carbon", is more cargo cult pop science.

>They are probably trying to refer to trapping and reducing carbon dioxide emissions, but this is a misleading way of doing so.

It isn't speculation. The article talks about local tribes and UNESCO as if the two ever had much in common. That isn't wild speculation.

We also need to stop referring to carbon dioxide as carbon. It may be a compound of carbon but it is not the same thing. Elemental carbon is not the problem.

> Those are real words, that’s true. [...]

Yeah that's a strawman.
