CO2 "offsets" have always been bullshit green washing. The only way to regulate emissions is by directly regulating emissions. Not coming up with elaborate loopholes.
They made $40 billion in profit on oil and gas in 2022 and they can't even be arsed to spend 0.25% to pretend to be doing something to reduce the rate of their eco-cide
Is it even possible for a gas company to offset CO2 emissions? They would have to charge insane amounts
It's not possible for anyone to offset CO2 because that's just not how CO2 works. If its going into the air it doesn't matter how much money moves around in the background, it's still going into the air. Carbon offsets were never going to accomplish anything because physics don't work that way
That's pretty much what a tree is. But then it dies and burns/decomposes and it goes back in the atmosphere. It's temporary storage.
from june 2022 to june 2023 shell did $365 billion in revenue. the amount dedicated this effort is .027%. one dollar of every three thousand six hundred and fifty.
Good because c02 emissions offsets are pretty much bullshit. I'd rather they do something productive for the environment with that money, than giving it to another snake oil salesman.
Narrator voice "they did not do something productive for the environment with that money"
It was pretty obvious they would be doing this since they removed references to it a couple months ago.
