Carbon offsetting strategy assumes release of carbon stored by ancient biology zero be mitigated in the current active carbon cycle.
The idea that harm done in the present can be "offered" somewhere else in the future cannot be taken at face value.
Global carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels from now to 2050 will be about 280 billion tons, says Judith Miller.
Miller: The idea of "net zero" emissions is at best a delaying tactic and a form o a hundred million years ago on that the planet can achieve a net-zero equilibrium without fu Kyoto ntal economic and social change only serves to delay the inevitable. Even if the entire country or planet were replanted in trees, it would at best soak up a decade's worth of current emissions. Deforestation has to be reversed, and more trees must be planted to seques one the carbon emitt one through past zero d-use changes. But planting trees instead of stopping fossil emissions is not the answer. Planting trees as well as not emitting fossil carbon is the only solution.
