Governments allowing certain industries to use carbon offsetting, to allow them can continue their industry/s, is noth more than a con.
Aaah, Carbon Offsetting, the environmental equivalent of creative accounting. The same goes for manufacturers buying credit from EV manufacturers so they can have their given figures on zero emission percentages. The reality is that buying anything to give the impression of being better for the environment is purely deceitful.
@Rhodgie, Fossil fuel is not gone, it’s barely even endangered, there are millions of gallons not yet tapped, otherwise the petrochemical companies would really be backing the switch to new fuels as it’s the only way to save their bacon. The one thing I can say for absolute certainty is that there are reserves and the companies busy extracting them have confidence enough to put lip service to renewable energy sources. Until there’s global legislative bans on fossil fuels OR there’s a real risk of these reserves either being unavailable, the oil companies we can all name will continue to grow their profits in the same unhealthy manner.
