One hears a lot about the theory of Carbon Offsetting in many industries including Agriculture.As Co2 is something I can’t see or touch how where can I get practical proof that carbon offsetting works in practice.
In theory if my tractor supposedly omits “x”amount of Co2 a year ,am I meant to think that the crops, permanent grass and woodland on my theoretical farm are meant absorb a certain amount of Co2, that may be more or less Co2 than the amount my tractor omits?
The trouble is I can’t see anything happening so how do I know the theory of Carbon Offsets work and it is not just a load of an unworkable Theory.
I am sincerely sceptical of Carbon Offsetting actually doing what scientists would have us believe.
