I reckon it's possibly even more harmful at the moment than the offsetting thing, because it's way more 'believable' and has gotten deep in renewable subsidies etc

One thi g I've noticed is all of these stories are very light on exactly how much resources these reusable rockets actually save. We know they use more fuel but are the construction saving offsetting that?

I think @glenpeters.bsky.social@katharinehayhoe.com@hausfath.bsky.social may have weighed in on this before, but am seeing a lot of shares of this Guardian article saying "oh no, the land sink has now collapsed & won't be offsetting any more emissions in the future" & I don't think that's true.

Land, food & climate folks: EPA estimates that 10% of US emissions come from agriculture and that US land use is a net sink, offsetting about 13% of US emissions. Do you believe those numbers? In your view, what are the 1-2 best ways to reduce ag emissions? www.epa.gov/ghgemissions...

pie chart of US emissions by sector: 10% ag, 13% buildings, 23% industry, 25% electricity, 28% transport

actually sort of a relief that safeguard credits get recognised as a form of carbon offsetting for once

It is because of videos like that that I decided that Serenity should learn spells that help with survival underwater. Breathing, protection from the elements, and should she need to go deep enough, offsetting the pressure. Never knows when she's going to need them, but she has them when she does.

3C remains the number to beat. On the optimistic side, I'd argue that we'll bend the emissions curve even more through solar deployments, making 2.5C the number to beat. Pessimistically, methane emissions are rising fast due to fracking, somewhat offsetting that progress. So... 3C.

The welfare system - as introduced by Lloyd George - was primarily about offsetting bad luck, not least because the state pension was paid at 70 when life expectancy was in the 50s. Striking to look back in my family history and see how few made it to what we would now call old age.
