I agree that this is likely missing data systematically. However note the difference between carbon offsets vs carbon removals. I don't know what kinds of offsets Google bought but given that they started buying them >15 years ago, they were probably not removals.

That's true, but my understanding is that removals are a subset of offsets, and considered higher quality offsets. Given that Google seems very committed to doing this at scale and in an evidence based, audited, method, I'd be very surprised if nothing of theirs comes up in this. Disclaimer btw, I do work for Google but nothing to do with this. The company policy on this however is a strong factor in me choosing to work here.
