Can carbon offsets ever be trusted for real climate action?
Carbon offsets are a convenient way for companies to claim climate action without actually cutting emissions. I work in logistics and I've seen firms buy offsets for tree planting while their fleets stay just as dirty. But is the problem the offsets themselves or the way they're used? Maybe with strict verification and a focus on reduction first, they could still play a role. What do you think—should we trust them at all?
