Some commenters are pointing out increased AI usage as the cause, but I think it's probably this as well: > While those are actions that should help the world tackle climate change, experts have found that the purchase of the emissions-avoidance offsets does little to actually reduce emissions. Basically their emissions are on the rise and instead of writing a big check to a somewhat grey to downright fraudulent industry of carbon credit they will try to reduce and invest in carbon capture which is another somewhat grey industry.
