    Ah, they don’t mean reduce emissions though. That might actually do something.

    Instead it’s all about becoming “carbon neutral”, which means slipping £20 to a company that offsets emissions, they slip £10 to a company in a third world country offering the same thing, they slip £5 to a farm owner who gives £1 to a guy who throws some seeds into a field.

    It’s like paying a man to be celibate so you can cheat on your wife guilt free.

      Or they run carbon scrubbers that are actually a net negative because of the power they use.
