Carbon 'offsets' aren't working: Researchers offer a 'roadmap' to improve nature-based climate solutions
A lot of the climate-altering carbon pollution humans release into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels gets drawn into the Earth's oceans and landscapes through natural processes, mostly through photosynthesis, as plants turn atmospheric carbon dioxide into biomass.

Carbon offsets fail to cut global heating due to ‘intractable’ systemic problems, study says
Analysis of 25 years of evidence shows most schemes are poor quality and fail to lower emissions

This interview has been lightly edited and condensed for clarity. Hell Gate: If someone visits the "Offset" website, they're given the option to donate to saboteurs who have staged disruptive actions at pipelines and oil fields. Is the point to actually raise enough money to materially assist these groups? Sam Lavigne: Yes, we analyze cases of sabotage or direct action, calculate their carbon benefits, and translate these into carbon offsets. You can then buy the offsets from our registry…
