Greenpeace claims that carbon offsetting doesn’t really work

- moralestapia 5y agoErr ... that's an opinion from a guest writer on Greenpeace's blog. Anyone could, thus, opine in the opposite direction and we're back to where we started. To be fair she raises some valid points but they all revolve around tree-based carbon offsetting. On the last couple years, there has been an explosion in carbon removal techniques and startups who, as the term says, literally and measurably take carbon away from the atmosphere. I believe this to be the kind of solution that makes sense, and, regarding costs, it is still within the realm of "offset your personal emissions for $1/day".
- vosper 5y agoCan you point to some available and verified carbon removal techniques that I can spend a dollar per day on?
