Carbon `offset` - no magic solution to `neutralise` fossil fuel emissions
... So what’s wrong, then, with using trees to soak up greenhouse gases? In brief, what’s wrong is this: What ‘offset’ forestry does is confuse fossil carbon with biological carbon. It claims that emissions from burning oil, gas or coal can be considered equal, in climatic terms, to the biological carbo ...
