Carbon Offsets ?
Do purchasing carbon offsets actually work?

A carbon offset is a reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases made in order to compensate for emissions made elsewhere. Offsets are measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent (CO2e).

It’s pure BS! Just allows rich people to use their private jets and clear their consciences.
Yes , you Prince Harry!

Not really. Those purchasing the offsets will still produce carbon so at best it reduces the growth of polluting activities but not pollution. When you consider those purchasing the offsets need to generate revenues in order to do so, they'll create even more carbon that won't be covered by the offsets in order to by them.

Seems like a good idea to me. Better than doing nothing. And it evens the playing field between the cost of clean energy and unclean energy.

does nothing for the environment it moves money around between rich people is all it does. Could Tesla survive without subsidies from carbon offsets?
No they do nothing but encourage useless people to continue to tell lies the same style of lies that John Kerry got his award for telling.
Think about the offsets for electric cars how much emissions are created making these so called green appliances in the first place?
Go and look at an open cut mine how much diesel is used to make a hole that big?
