#Carbonoffsetting has long been a bad joke - with the 'miracle stoves' idea in particularly bad taste. (How many years old?)

Going to have to take a flight to go celebrate my daughter getting her master’s degree. From what I’ve understood most #carbonoffsetting schemes - especially those offered by airlines - are failures at best, and pure #greenwashing at worst.
Here’s me turning to the hive mind for good, independently vetted, science-based, verifiably effective in the long-term, community-oriented schemes to help wash away my sins. #askfedi -

EnergyAustralia apologises over offsets after #greenwashing lawsuit https://www.smh.com.au/environment/sustainability/energyaustralia-apologises-over-offsets-after-greenwashing-lawsuit-20250516-p5lzpd.html ““Today, #EnergyAustralia acknowledges that #carbonoffsetting is not the most effective way to assist customers to reduce their emissions and apologises to any customer who felt that the way it marketed its Go Neutral products was unclear,” it said. “Storing carbon in plants is not equivalent to keeping it stored in #fossilfuels (by not burning those fossil fuels in the first place).”

"AMY GOODMAN: It’s one of the largest oil corporations in the world, #ADNOC, the #AbuDhabiNationalOilCorporation, #SultanAlJaber, who is the head of this COP.
"NNIMMO BASSEY: Yes. And, you know, we’ve heard so many things going on. And with the #FossilFuel industry being so prominent here, with bankers crawling the spaces of the COP, we’re seeing a lot of trade discussions. And, you know, this breaks my heart when I look at the way African negotiators or policymakers, the politicians, are bending back and accepting whatever is being thrown at them by the — through those who are investing in #CarbonOffsetting or #CarbonTrading mechanisms. We’re seeing a sellout of #AfricanContinent.
"And we know the implications for this. One, it means once you sell out a territory for a period of time, you’ve lost #sovereignty, so to speak, over that place, over that #forest, over that community, over that territory. And then it means negatively — negative impact on communities who live in the area that we are selling out. We’re talking about millions of hectares being mapped out to be sold for #CarbonCredit generative facilities. And, you know, some of this means #reforestation or forestation. It means clearing the land and planting new trees. Now, that itself emits, releases a lot of carbon from the soil. And then, of course, these #NewTrees are #monocultures, and they don’t — they are not as efficient #CarbonSinks as #NaturalForests. And so we’re seeing losses in every dimension."
