OMNI Features｜Scientists Call for End to Ineffectual Carbon Offsets, Push for Real Emissions Reductions．Seabed Mining Concerns Prompt BlueFloat Energy's Departure from New Zealand
More than 60 climate scientists warn that corporate carbon offsets are ineffective and impede real climate progress, emphasizing that "real zero" emissions — actual reductions without offsets — is essential to mitigate climate impacts. This call to action, led by the Lethal Humidity Global Council, includes prominent climate scientists like Prof. Michael Mann and UN expert Bill Hare, who argue that carbon offsets merely shift emissions rather than reduce them. Prof. Katrin Meissner and others highlight that offset projects like forest preservation are not permanent solutions, as carbon stored in trees can be re-released through events like wildfires.
