Strong upvote to this post for being exactly the kind of research we need more people to do.
Also, I like that you contacted Cool Earth and gave them a chance to respond, though I wish you’d also asked them for permission to publish the correspondence or to at least quote them directly. In cases like these, I prefer seeing both sides discuss an issue in their own words.
Publishing the correspondence would be tricky because lots of it happened over phone calls. However it may be possible to get them to respond to this post, and then you can see their point of view from the horse’s mouth.
