The Biden government advocates for the “broken” carbon offset scheme.

In this era of environmental awareness, every company proudly displays its eco-friendly initiatives. However, the Biden administration’s recent release of guidelines to support the legitimacy of the voluntary carbon market exposes a disconcerting truth: carbon offsets, the ostensibly revolutionary solution to climate change, are not the magic bullet they seem to be.

Initially, the idea seemed admirable. Businesses buy carbon credits, which are supposed to reflect a reduction of one metric ton of CO2 through initiatives such as planting trees or installing renewable energy systems. The acquiring corporation can claim to be carbon neutral or even net-zero emitters by using these credits, which theoretically cancel out the emissions they produce.

But look closer, and the facade starts to fall apart. Consider the case of computer behemoth Apple, which has garnered praise for its efforts toward becoming carbon neutral. The company’s stated reduction in emissions is primarily attributable to the purchase of climate offsets, which includes funding for initiatives such as plantations growing eucalyptus timber in remote Paraguay. However, these projects’ actual state is far from a green paradise.
