Over 60 klimaeksperter kritiserer virksomheders brug af CO2-kompensationer som ineffektive og betegner det som en hindring for den nødvendige energiomstilling, skriver The Guardian.
Eksperterne har underskrevet en “real zero”-løfteerklæring organiseret af Lethal Humidity Global Council, som advarer mod at satse på “net zero” frem for reelle nuludledninger.
Bill Hare, grundlægger af Climate Analytics, medlem af en FN-ekspertgruppe og medunderskriver, udtaler: “We should be focused on real reductions in emissions, rather than engaging in a counting game”
Prof. Katrin Meissner, direktør for Climate Change Research Centre ved University of New South Wales og medunderskriver understreger: “A reliance on carbon offsets without the needed emission reductions is dangerous and detrimental. (…) To keep global warming within the guardrails of the Paris agreement, the timeframe is now so tight that there is no space for companies to use offsetting to continue high-carbon activities. We need to turn the fossil fuel taps off, all of them.”
