Re:Carbon offsetting is just another form of greenwashing by ZeroGravitas on Monday August 08, 2022 @06:00AM (#32383838)
The EU calculate that as the price rise that would result in 2050 from their net zero plans.

Here's an aviation industry take on the plans, which seek to reduce the carbon by 55% by 2030

But it's easy enough to find CO2 calculators and estimated costs of carbon and compare with current flight costs to get your own number for flights that matter to you.

When people do this though, they think "This seems suspiciously cheap? I thought this was going to take us back to the stone age, not just make long transatlantic flights a bit more expensive by not subsidizing them as much" then they come up with conspiracy theories about how it's all greenwashing to make sense of it all.
