This is made worse by the sheer, but actual, complexity that surrounds all this. Especially the "scopes¹".
So someone buying and selling, say, diesel in solar-powered-fuel stations, can still have "net zero" because they themselves don't emit, but both the people buying it, and the companies producing it, still emit immense amounts of carbon.
Which is then a very easy way to "greenwash" your business. To have marketing, that's not even a lie, but still being very misleading.
(I used to build accounting software for carbon emission accounting, it's way, way more complex that this diesel-example)
