We cut forests, and burned oil. Offsets help revert one of these things. But, we’d need to do more than that to reverse the change.
So the offsets you can buy now are low hanging fruit. Actual carbon sucking costs vastly more than wren’s offsets.
Though still achiveble? Would be about $10,000 usd per person at average european emissions. About $20,000 usd per person at average american emisisons. Includes children.

If those costs go down, the costs become realistic. I don’t mean politically realistic, just possible to do.
Fwiw I use both wren and climeworks. And maybe if enough people used wren they might find non-forest offsets that are achievable at low cost. But right now it wouldn’t obviously scale if all did it.
