I've probably got this wrong - as usual - but don't we earn (lol) some sort of carbon credits by not manufacturing stuff (therefore not adding to global warming*), and then sell those credits to other countries so they can offset their carbon emissions whilst manufacturing shite (adding to the dreaded global warming) that we then import from afar (again adding to global warming), and then dump aforementioned shite into landfills (adding to global warming) or even ship it back where it came from (adding to global warming) where it is recycled (adding to . . . ) and the circle goes on and on.
*I use the term global warming loosely as a polluting the planet phrase connected to net zero
