Amazon is making a switch to low-carbon products and services because it makes sense economically. However the problem is that these solutions are often only low-carbon on paper. Reforestation and carbon capture are not feasible solutions either.

This is disappointing because in a few years companies will be sustainable on paper. This will make a coordinated effort to fight climate change even harder to achieve.

You can see Amazon not walking the talk on their political lobbying.

Perhaps you could expand on those points/cite some sources? It's just that Amazon's sustainability program looks quite reasonable (even better if it makes economic sense), and that they'll obtain neutrality 10 years before it'd be necessary by standards in the Paris agreement.

I don't know if your conclusions apply to a set of businesses s/Amazon/businesses in a broader sense, but it's hard to see how they apply to Amazon.
