realistically there is no way to "offset" carbon emissions today. there are plenty of people that will take your money, but to date they can be considered at best beta tests, not functioning solutions.

your choice is to vote hard environmentalist, agitate hard for immediate change, stop flying and stop driving and stop eating red meat.

or don't. but don't delude yourself. a lot of people wish so hard there were easier options that they will endlessly talk about made up ones. but those are the only real ones today.

Also, don't have children and pursuade those around you to not have children. It's about 60 times more impactful than going vegetarian. https://images.app.goo.gl/WzvXhy9brdTih8PWA

I have 3 kids, so I'm basically forced on one side of the climate debate. I worry will soon have to wear a scarlet letter for my shame.

Instead, I intensely advocate for technology-based approaches to climate stabilization, such as marine cloud brightening.

Of course there is. How many steaks is a flight from London to Paris?
