Abstract: Following record-setting temperatures last year, the need for action against climate change is higher than ever. But even the most concerned individuals, corporations, and states will still emit greenhouse gases (GHGs)1 in an industrial societyâ??despite their best efforts to install more efficient light bulbs, use low-carbon transportation, or otherwise try to lower their footprint. After reducing GHG emissions as much as possible internally, organizations need to support low carbon activity externallyâ??typically by purchasing carbon offsets.
