The University of California has all but dropped carbon offsets—and thinks you should, too
www.technologyreview.com
It uncovered systemic problems with offset markets and recommended that the public university system focus on cutting its direct emissions instead.

Carbon credits were a scam all along!

    But the point is to reduce emissions, not to just shuffle them around... yea

      Yeah. It's hard to think about this problem within the US, where viable inter-city rail only exists between a few cities on the east coast. If you want to go long distances flying is the only way. Driving a personal car for that distance is even worse in terms of carbon emissions. This country is set up like a machine to drain life from the world.
