Climate Ad Project

https://climateadproject.org/offsets/
But the truth is, carbon offsets (and credits) are primarily a tool of large polluters, not individuals.
net-zero pledges to project a good public image.
What does net-zero really mean?
We need to dramatically reduce emissions to get to true net-zero globally.
But economic growth is still largely tied to increasing emissions. Big polluters can maintain a facade of progress without making substantive changes.
We can’t say with certainty that all offsets are bad, but we can say with certainty that not all offsets are good.
Gründe dagegen
Lack of accountability
profound lack of standardization and transparency.
You can plant lots of trees, but they can be cut down, or burned in a wildfire, releasing the carbon back into the atmosphere. CO2 stays in atmosphere for 300 - 1000 years. keep the trees that long!
Additionality
almost all offset projects failed the additionality standard, finding, “75% of the credits issued were unlikely to represent real reductions , and that if countries had cut pollution on-site instead of relying on offsets, global CO₂ emissions would have been 600 million tons lower.”

The scale of the problem
There are only so many trees you can plant, or so much land to re-wild, ...
It’s practically impossible to reach net-zero emissions by trying to remove carbon from the atmosphere while continuing to emit at current levels.
oil major Shell plans to deploy more nature-based carbon offsets, derived from forestry and soil stewardship projects, than the entire global market can currently supply. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-shell-carbon-offsets-graphic-idUSKBN2AC1CR

earth is getting alarmingly hot.
Un report: "atlas of human suffering" giant corporations claim to become net zero.
1/5 companies of the largest 2000 companies comitted to net zero.
kitkat: forest regeneration, regenerative farming "will offset any remaining carbon" that is a common tactic.
2/3 rely on offsets instead of reductions.
the idea sounds to good to be true. because it is. 3:20 study after study show : Feb 14 : bloomberg law: "... study after study has indicated that most offsets available on the market don't reliably reduce emissions."
offsets are now the backbone of policy of biggest poluters.
they might make things actually worse.

fox news: buy jewelry as an offset for cheating.
companies buy it voluntary to improve image. the volunary market is growing quickly. checkboxes to buy offsets.

carbon offsets are bullshit.
how offsets are bullshits is really interesting. it is easy to say you are carbon neutral but harder to prove it.
additionality
prove that it would not have happened otherwise.
JP Morgan bought offsets. Hawk mountain preserve, was already a preserve. it did not need saving. but JP Morgan claimed it to be. The nature Conservancy are busy selling offsets.

ryanAir. pay 1€ to offset. This just offsets 0.01% of the emissions.
problem with offsetse is, everyone wants to believe in them. buyers want to pay as little as possible.

they are not accountable to anyone. they are paid by companies selling the offsets. their standards are far too low!
it is good to protect forests.
Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment + Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy: Study(2021): "Do carbon offsets offset carbon? (raphael calel, Jonathan Colmer, ..." 52% of approved offsets are from projects that would have very likely been build anyways.
John Oliver: "This causes real damage because companies with hard caps buy those offsets. but when you buy an offset, so you can pollute more, and that offset is bullshit, you are now making things actively worse""
study: "... the sale of these offsets ... substantially increased global carbon dioxide emissions."
remember that people live at the other side of the world. swedish energy agency bought offsets from a company called "green resources" pine forests in uganda. problem: thousands of rural ugandas were evicted.
offsets are not the answer here. we can not offset our way out of climate change!
there is not room on earth to plant 4000x times the trees. it seems like the easy thing to do, but you dont have done anything.
there is not enough space for all companies to offset.
Bloomberg: Too many companies are banking on carbon capture to reach net zero "... there's only about 500 million hectares of land left that can be dedicated to new forests for carbon capture." Shell alone ".. has proposed planting a tenth of that amount..."
offsets places profits over science.

Carbon Pricing. A Critical Perspective for Community Resistance - https://www.ienearth.org
1
Carbon pricing, including carbon trading, carbon tax-
es and carbon offsets, are false solutions to climate
change that do NOT keep fossil fuels in the ground.
2
Carbon taxes will always be low, will always be evad-
ed, do not cut pollution to the degree needed, and are
greenwash.
3
Carbon trading, carbon offsets and REDD+ are fraud-
ulent climate mitigation mechanisms that in fact
help corporations and governments keep extracting
and burning fossil fuels.
4
Token revenues distributed to environmental justice
communities from carbon trading or carbon pricing
can never compensate for the destruction wrought
by the extraction and pollution that is the source of
that revenue.
Accepting such revenue not only does not compensate for the damage to our air, bodies, environ-
ment, and nature, but also implicates the receiver in the extraction, pollution and natural disasters
that such pollution causes.
FDCL/FT Watch (2016): Geld wächst nicht auf Bäumen – oder doch?
Der Emissionshandel... und warum er nicht funktioniert
-
Der Emissionshandel lenkt ab von den Ursachen des Klimawandels und ermöglicht den Freikauf von ei- gentlich notwendigen Verminderungen von Emissionen. Er fördert den ursprünglich geplanten technologischen Umbau und das Abschalten schmutziger Industrien nicht, sondern rechtfertigt ihren Erhalt.
-
Es gibt keinen „richtigen” Preis für Treibhausgase: Je nachdem, wer sie wie und mit welchen Interessen be- rechnet, kommt etwas anderes heraus. Eine Studie vom Jahr 2015 besagte beispielsweise, der „optimale” CO2- Preis müsse 200 mal höher sein als der aktuelle, um tatsächlich den Klimawandel aufhalten zu können. Der läge dann etwa bei 220 Euro pro Tonne CO2. [3] Derart hohe Preise wären jedoch in unserer Realität der aktuellen Machtverhältnissen nie umsetzbar. [4]
-
Gefahr für Umwelt- und Klimaschutz: Manche sagen, der Emissionshandel würde dann funktionieren, wenn der Markt ganz frei wäre und nicht von anderen rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen gestört würde. So plädie- ren beispielsweise Unternehmen wie Shell oder E.ON. dafür, dass in der Europäischen Union (EU) die gesetz- lichen Ziele für den Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien durch den freien Emissionsmarkt ersetzt werden sollten. David Hone, Berater für Klimawandel bei Shell, erklärt etwa: „Es braucht einen Emissionsmarkt mit einem einzi- gen Ziel. Schafft die anderen Ziele und Ansätze ab und lasst den Emissionsmarkt die Gewichtung der Technologien be- stimmen“. [5] Dies wäre jedoch höchst gefährlich, denn so würden sämtliche sinnvolle und tatsächlich grei- fende Umweltgesetze durch den Markt ausgehebelt werden. Und das heißt: Geld regiert die Welt, nicht die Bürger*innen.

Die Preise sind Viel zu niedrig
Cost of carbon should be 200% higher today, say economists (2015) https://www.carbonbrief.org/cost-of-carbon-should-be-200-higher-today-say-economists/
A study published in Nature Climate Change in January incorporated three modifications into the DICE model, allowing climate change to affect the growth rate of the economy, adaptation to climate change, and dividing the model to represent high- and low- income countries. With these assumptions, the optimal cost of carbon came out at $220 per tonne.

ten facts about carbon sinks:
https://www.fern.org/fileadmin/uploads/fern/Documents/Fake%20%27credit%20card%27%20leaflet.pdf
Carbon in trees is not equivalent to carbon in fossil fuels: Tree-stored carbon is easily released into the atmosphere through fire, natural decay and timber harvesting. Carbon in fossil fuels is locked away and only released through human intervention. Carbon credits that equate the two are based on a false premise.
One-way road: Trees provide temporary carbon storage as part of the normal cycle of carbon exchange between forests and the atmosphere. The release of carbon from fossil fuels is permanent and, over relevant time scales, will accelerate climate change by increasing the active carbon pool and destabilising carbon flows.
Fake credit: Carbon sink credits in the Kyoto Protocol use temporary tree plantations to justify permanent releases of fossil-stored carbon into the atmosphere. Carbon sink credits are fake credits for the climate.
Footprint chaos: Carbon sink credits increase the ecological debt of the North. The more fossil fuel a Northern country uses, the more land it is entitled to use to ‘offset’ its emissions. This is unfair and undermines global efforts towards sustainable development.
Subsidies for mega-plantations: The Kyoto Protocol stands to provide a new subsidy for the plantations industry. Documented evidence shows how large-scale plantations have negative impacts on forests and forest peoples. Kyoto includes no meaningful safeguards to rule out large-scale monoculture tree plantations from receiving carbon credits.
Communities suffer twice: First, climate change affects the livelihoods of forest peoples and rural communities through increased droughts, floods, forest fires and deforestation. Second, carbon sink credits promote the expansion of large-scale tree plantations, which indigenous peoples and forest-dependent communities are opposing in many parts of the world.
Arming a time bomb: Avoiding climate change requires drastic reductions of greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels, but carbon sink projects do nothing to help solve this problem; in fact they mask the real crisis. This is sentencing future generations to live with fewer choices and worse conditions.
Forest fraud: Forests play a vital role in storing carbon and buffering extreme weather events. But linking forest restoration with carbon credits is a dead-end for forest peoples as well as for the climate. Halting the forest crisis requires action against the underlying causes of deforestation, not a bigger active carbon pool and more monoculture tree plantations.
Blind guess: Measuring carbon pools is fraught with uncertainties. Scientists have found that estimates of the carbon balance in Canadian forests could vary by 1000 per cent if seemingly small factors, such as increased levels of atmospheric CO2, are taken into account.
Phony climate fix: Real and lasting solutions to the forest crisis and the climate crisis lie in providing incentives for forest-dependent communities and indigenous peoples to restore their forests and practice sustainable forest management. Small-scale pilot projects are already showing positive results, while large-scale carbon sink projects are attracting criticism and protest.

Nachhaltige alternative Treibstoffe: Ein möglichst hoher Anteil konventionellen Kerosins soll durch Agrartreibstof- fe ersetzt werden. Die Pläne sind unrealistisch, würden rie- sige Mengen Land verbrauchen und damit die Lebensmit- telversorgung gefährden, zu Landraub führen und zudem kaum positive Auswirkungen auf das Klima haben.

It is not hard to make pledges towards net zero — especially when the nations and organizations involved can themselves set the parameters for that pledge. But a pledge that doesn’t include meaningful reductions — as opposed to more offsets — increases the risk that catastrophic climate change will become unavoidable.

Offsets cannot truly “offset” fossil fuel production: the latest science indicates that offsets cannot keep pace with large-scale carbon emissions.
Offsets perpetuate environmental injustice, allowing polluters to continue poisoning BIPOC and working-class communities.
Offsets are likely to increase greenhouse gas emissions by allowing polluters to pollute while sequestering carbon in volatile, impermanent reservoirs.
Offsets often result in violations of the rights of Indigenous and tribal peoples, as Indigenous lands are increasingly targeted by forest offset project developers.
Offsets undermine sustainable farming and increase consolidation in agriculture, further entrenching factory farms and monoculture at the expense of small farmers, including Black and Indigenous farmers and Tribal Nations.
Offsets markets create conditions for fraud and gambling, prioritizing profit-seeking traders and speculators over economic and climate justice.

Eine CO2-Kompensation oder Stilllegung einer bereits erzeugten/ausgestoßenen CO2-Menge kann die Erzeugung dieser CO2-Menge nicht einfach ungeschehen machen (eine Ohrfeige die man austeilt, kann auch durch die schönste Entschuldigung nicht mehr rückgängig gemacht werden). Auch eine anschließend genutzte, noch so gute Kompensationsmaßnahme kann selbst durch die Nutzung der besten, nachhaltigen Kompensationsprojekte nur abgemildert werden. https://inova.eco/co2-kompensation-pro-und-contra/

Hallo,
Das Unternehmen in dem ich arbeite möchte eine Flugrichtlinie aufstellen. Es wird überlegt, die entstehenden CO2 Emissionen zu kompensieren.
Ich weiß, dass Kompensationen meistens nicht gut sind. https://climateadproject.org/offsets/
Daher werde ich vorschlagen an Soziale Bewegungen zu spenden.
Falls sie das nicht annehmen und unbedingt CO2 Zertifikate kaufen wollen. Welche Anbieter sind am sinnvollsten?
Laut klima.com soll freiwilliges offsetting gut sein:
"Does offsetting drive climate-damaging behavior?
Actually, the opposite is true. Studies show that people who offset their carbon emissions are more climate friendly in other parts of their lives, too. That
makes sense: When you're personally invested in a cause, you want it to succeed"
