Swift also bought more than double the amount of carbon credits needed to offset her private jet use for her Eras Tour, Paine told the Post on Monday.
What a joke.
Yep. The problem is that 90% of offsets are fraudulent. So just buying more doesn’t help
I feel like we need a Martin Luther for climate issues. You can’t buy your way into heaven and you can’t buy imaginary climate credits. Plant a fucking tree or fly commercial.
Bullshit. Offsets are a serious market solution to climate change.
I’m actually starting a retail business for them. You can use Venmo, or Cash App, to purchase offsets for your day to day climate killing activities.
I’m even running a special. Normally it’s $1 per mile driven, but today it’s only $0.85/mile AND I’ll throw in an offset for 5 pieces of petroleum based articles of clothing.
Once I’ve received payment, I’ll send you a photo of the trees you just saved.
See? Totally legit. You don’t have to thank me, just send me money. I’m happy to be doing my part!
Problem is that the more fraudulent offsets you buy, the more that get created to fill the demand for them. You can’t buy your way out of this problem.
