a) climatecare calculates for a return journey london-bratislava 0,29
tonne carbon emissions and the offset costs gbp 2,20 (about 3,30 euros =
11,38 euros / tonne).
b) atmosfair calculates for the same journey 700 kg carbon emissions and
the offset costs 15 euros.
(= 21,43 / tonne).
has anybody looked into the issue of carbon offsets more closely and can
recommend me a good organisation?
They look all a bit like a scam to me. Who's controlling where the
money goes? I could set up that kind of a website in a week, or so.
It may not sport a logo like

(I wonder whether the Bundesministerium fuer Umwelt knows?)
but it certainly sounds like easy money.
there is no standartisation as yet. both list some projects. but i
agree, it might be easy money. a corruption scandal would definitely
have really bad impact her.
now on circulation which deal with 'hard facts'. why do they become so
soft certainly?
As soon as the dismal science is involved you can kiss good hard
numbers good-bye.
which is not a problem as long as people are aware of that.
