In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Jim Gromer, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) at Thermal Banc/TESS Energy Solutions, a collaborative effort of companies building thermal energy storage solutions - turning waste heat into clean energy. Thermal Banc makes up the sales wing, TESS Energy Solutions the engineering wing, Smart Phases the manufacturing wing, and Novacab comprises the battery. The technology is revolutionizing energy efficiency by capturing, storing, and reusing waste heat, significantly reducing industrial and commercial energy consumption. For the facilities they serve, such as data centers and universities, Thermal Banc/TESS Energy Solutions technology supports carbon emission reduction, energy efficiency enhancement, resource conservation, and circular economy alignment, demonstrating a dedication to pioneering renewable energy solutions that not only drive profitability, but also contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable world.Ted and Jim discuss his background briefly, based in Colorado, spending most of his career in the television industry, and recently moving into the renewable energy space with Thermal Banc and TESS Energy Solutions. He digs into the technology, which collects waste heat from different kinds of facilities and up to 135 sources. The collected waste is stored in phase change materials, generating power to offset carbon dioxide emissions and to cut peak demand charges.

Send Crystal a text letting her know what you thought about the show!This is another episode of the Forces for Nature, EarthX Conference series!How can the landscapes around us play a direct role in reducing carbon emissions? In this episode, we talk with Jim Blackburn, the CEO of BCarbon, about nature-based carbon sequestration. Jim shares how BCarbon is helping landowners restore prairies, forests, and wetlands to store carbon naturally, and why the voluntary carbon market could play a pivotal role in combating climate change. We explore how these projects contribute not only to carbon reduction but also to ecological resilience, biodiversity, and sustainable economic incentives for landowners. Whether you're curious about the carbon market or looking for impactful ways to reduce your own carbon footprint, this episode sheds light on a holistic approach to climate action.HighlightsHow does BCarbon's nature-based approach to carbon capture work, and why is it different from technological carbon capture technology?How can we know if carbon credits are truly making a difference or if they're just being used as “greenwashing”?Why might investing in carbon credits be a meaningful step for individuals and businesses aiming to offset their environmental impact?What You Can Do:Look into verified, nature-based carbon offset options to balance out your personal or business emissions.Support local conservation and restoration efforts that contribute to biodiversity and carbon storage.Engage with nature.Resources Mentioned in the Episode:BCarbon – Learn more about BCarbon and how they work with landowners for natural carbon sequestration.Texas Coastal Exchange – A program supporting carbon sequestration along the Texas coast.Want a free guide to help you become a force for nature?

Carbon offsetting is a carbon trading mechanism that allows entities to compensate for their residual carbon emissions by investing in projects that reduce, avoid, or remove emissions elsewhere. While this approach can contribute to climate goals, it often faces criticism for potentially allowing companies to sidestep substantial decarbonization efforts. Additionally, verifying the benefits of offsets is a significant challenge and some projects may promise more than they can deliver. In this episode, James and Daisy chat about the complexities of carbon offsets and carbon markets. What are the differences between the voluntary and compliance carbon markets? Is offsetting better than doing nothing? Is the word “offset” inherently problematic?SOME RECOMMENDATIONS:Five Times Faster – a book by Simon Sharpe, where he argues that “in our fight to avoid dangerous climate change, science is pulling its punches, diplomacy is picking the wrong battles, and economics has been fighting for the other side.”ISSD (2023) – We loved this article by Scott Vaughan and Charles Di Leva on international carbon markets.International Journal of Sustainable Energy (2023) – James contributed to this methodology alongside Daniel Morrell and Felix Dodds. It presents the “Balance” approach to sustainable development and describes two novel measures: a carbon calculator for commercial entities, and a new metric, the Balance Unit, combining biodiversity creation with carbon credits. OTHER ADVOCATES, FACTS, AND RESOURCES:SBTi (2024): If you're interested in joining the debate on offsets, it is worth reading this synthesis report on carbon credits and following updates from the SBTi. BloombergNEF (2022): “…[compliance] markets reached a value of more than $850 billion in 2021 and cover close to a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions.” “Despite the hype of voluntary carbon markets, they are still very small compared to compliance markets, valued at around $1 billion to $2 billion in 2021.”Deloitte (2023): “There are now 36 “compliance carbon markets” that offer cap-and-trade programs for heavy polluters.”Bioregional (2024): Read this blog to understand a bit more about carbon insetting – “…carbon insetting supports emissions reductions within an organisation's own value chain.”World Bank Group (2022): This article provides a clear explanation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement – “Article 6 of the Paris Agreement allows countries to voluntarily cooperate with each other to achieve emission reduction targets set out in their NDCs.”Pollination (2023): Delta Blue Carbon is a project in Pakistan that is restoring critical mangrove habitat, creating a large carbon market that is genuinely nature-positive, and offering the local community tangible benefits and a starring role in the restoration and stewardship of their environment.Thank you for listening!

London's blue-chip index lifted again on Tuesday after fresh data highlighted a decline in unemployment in the UK. Unemployment took an unexpected plunge over the three months to June, while economic inactivity climbed to a 13-year high, official figures showed on Tuesday. Chancellor Rachel Reeves commented that there was “more to do” in supporting people into work, with many out due to long-term sickness, adding it will be tackled in the budget later this year. Meanwhile, an uptick in wage growth has fuelled questions over whether the Bank of England should further cut rates this year. Figures from the ONS showed wages climbed by 5.4% between April and June, compared to 5.7% in the previous three months. Additionally, grocery prices climbed at a faster rate over the month to August 4 for the first time since March last year, according to Kantar data. This comes ahead of the UK's key inflation reading this week, with analysts already predicting an acceleration in the consumer price index. #proactiveinvestors #marketreport #ftse #footsie #ftse100 #ons #rachelreeves #kantar #cpi #inflation #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

How do Social Security benefits and VA Disability Benefits impact each other? In this video, we discuss VA disability and Social Security benefits, how they work together, and whether any offsets apply. There are two different types of Social Security disability benefits: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). One benefit includes limits whereas the other does not. Tune in to learn more!

Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/bionicplanet Two weeks ago, climate pioneer Interface Inc announced they would become carbon-negative across all their operations by 2040, enabling them to move beyond the use of carbon credits. Some people heralded this as a sign that the days of offsetting emissions are over, but that's not exactly true – at least not yet. Most companies aren't as far along on their climate journeys as Interface is, and we still need offsets to accelerate reductions in the next decade. The fact is a company's decision to offset or not depends on its unique circumstances. In this episode of Bionic Planet, we delve into the remarkable journey of Interface, Inc., a flooring tile manufacturer that has been at the forefront of climate action since CEO Ray Anderson (pictured) the 1990s. The episode explores how Interface's early efforts to offset emissions paved the way for their groundbreaking carbon-negative carpet line, which absorbs more greenhouse gas than it emits over its lifecycle. We replay a 2021 interview with Buddy Hay, the industrial engineer who played a pivotal role in quantifying Interface's emissions, and we detail the company's transition to offsetting, the challenges they faced in measuring and reducing their carbon footprint, and the evolution of the voluntary carbon market, the role of verification and validation in offsetting, and the importance of natural climate solutions -- as well as how the company used offsets the right way: to reduce emissions in the present while developing technologies that enabled it to move beyond offsetting in the future.

As more businesses focus on net-zero targets, voluntary carbon markets (VCMs) need to play an increasingly crucial role. The VCMs are a necessary and important tool for offsetting hard-to-decarbonize emissions, and there is a vital need to scale them; however, there are many challenges in their current state. In this episode of the Sustainability Matters podcast, Bruno Sarda and EY Sustainability Global Account Lead for Microsoft, Alissa Byersdorfer, examine the VCMs' growth and how they needs to evolve with Brian Marrs — Senior Director for Energy and Carbon Removal at Microsoft. Bruno sets the scene with a brief history of the VCMs and carbon as a commodity. He shares that VCMs are growing and are now a key component of many businesses' decarbonization strategies but there are some significant challenges around credibility and quality. Alissa explains how the alliance between Microsoft and the global EY organization helps other businesses achieve their own decarbonization goals through sustainable strategies and data management solutions. With a commitment to becoming carbon negative by 2030, Microsoft is a pioneer in this space. Brian discusses the challenges Microsoft has faced and how the VCMs need to evolve to focus more on quality carbon removal products. Brian covers why Microsoft's strategy is solely focused on investing in carbon removal programs and how they have approached the challenges of the carbon market with their four north stars on quality. Lastly, Brian shares some first-hand advice for companies exploring VCMs to achieve their net-zero goals. © 2024 Ernst & Young LLP

Our guest on this week's episode is someone who over the past 25 years has played a pivotal role in the development and adoption of biofuels. He's a forward thinking leader who is committed to creating a better world. Joining Dan Ryan is President and CEO at World Energy, Gene Gebolys!Gene highlights the importance of achieving net zero, the value of being authentic, and the technology behind biofuels. Takeaways:  Hospitality is about welcoming others into your space and putting them at ease. In the context of sustainability, it is crucial to focus on decarbonizing sectors like aviation and help people travel with a lower carbon impact, aligning their actions with their values. Net zero is a critical concept in combating climate change, where the goal is to remove as much carbon as is emitted. Though offsets exist to absorb emitted carbon, their effectiveness and quality vary, calling for careful consideration in their implementation. Offsets have been widely abused, leading to a lack of confidence in them. However, the use of insets, which displace carbon emissions in the same sector, provides a high-quality alternative to offsets that can effectively reduce a sector's carbon footprint. Displacing fossil fuels with alternative energy sources may seem small in scale compared to the overall demand. However, it is crucial for leading brands to authentically uphold their net zero commitments and inspire other companies to join them. The importance of embracing innovation, energy efficiency, and sustainable living, lies in their ability to create a more thoughtful, connected, and sustainable future for all. To move forward, we must embrace a more community focused way of life. Approximately 9% of global carbon emissions are emitted during steel production. To address this, there is a growing need for increased efficiency and thoughtful design to reduce the creation and disposal of preventable waste. By using wind energy to break water into Oxygen and Hydrogen, wind energy can be stored in the form of “green hydrogen”. This allows for a renewable energy source like wind, to be bottled up and transported across the globe.  Quote of the Show:“If you're a corporate leader today, how can you be a corporate leader on everything but the biggest problem the species faces?” - Gene GebolysLinks: Twitter: https://twitter.com/GebolysGene  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/genegebolys/  Website: https://www.worldenergy.net/  Shout Outs: 05:47 - Google Flights: https://www.google.com/travel/flights 05:56 - United Airlines: https://www.united.com/en/us  06:31 - Hotel Marcel: https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/hvnsdup-hotel-marcel-new-haven/  11:53 - John Oliver's Carbon Offsets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p8zAbFKpW0  25:05 - Air Products: https://www.airproducts.com/  37:50 - The Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance: https://flysaba.org/  38:06 - Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/  38:07 - Deloitte: https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en.html  38:10 - Apple: https://www.apple.com/  38:15 - Bank of America: https://www.bankofamerica.com/  38:17 - JPMorgan Chase: https://www.jpmorganchase.com/  46:24 - Taniya Nayak 46:31 - Yellow Door Taqueria: https://www.yellowdoortaqueria.com/  Ways to Tune In:  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPX Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1s Amazon Music: ​​https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8c904932-90fa-41c3-813e-1cb8f3c42419

Today Joe is a senior research fellow at the University of Pennsylvania Centre for Science, Sustainability and Media. Part 1 focuses on the how offsets are misused by big brand names and nations in unregulated markets to peddle lies to the public. In Part 2 we discuss how this impacts the NDC accounting systems that underpin the Paris Agreement and expose much less well off countries to yet another form of what Joe calls Climate Imperialism.  In Part 3 we discuss how COP28 does not bode well having an oil boss as the president and how all these strands come together to reinforce the notion that the UNFCCC process is set-up to fail.

The past week has seen a series of sweeping global developments — from the military mutiny in Russia that was suddenly averted, to the historic US visit by India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi. At the same time US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Bejing with trade and mutual cooperation on the table. These major events, amidst unfolding regional drama and changes, could portend opportunities for the US and free markets, according to DICK BOVE, chief financial strategist at ODEON CAPITAL GROUP.  “China took a major hit last week,” says BOVE. “But the biggest coup of all was India, they can't be anti-US anymore.” The CONVERSATION looks in more detail at this seeming pivot in global commerce and trade. “China is an export dependent economy, if it does not export, it does not have an economy,” says MAT VAN ALSTYNE, ODEON co-founder and managing partner, underlining one of China's main priorities and the benefits of peaceful co-existence with neighbors. What could go wrong? JOHN AIDAN BYRNE raises questions about the internal stability of the Chinese economy from high youth unemployment to a weak consumer sector. New data from BOVE shows the US money supply as a share of the world's money supply, has been steadily declining — from a high of nearly 90 percent in the 1950s to some 20 percent in recent years.  We examine what that means for the greenback. The dollar is still the globe's major currency. Despite a push by many countries to destabilize it, the US dollar is the main currency held by central banks worldwide. Elsewhere, the demographic crisis in Western nations continues with the sharp drop in US fertility rates offset by sustained levels of immigration.  Finally, we look at the decline and fall of once mighty empires from the Roman to the British Empires.

Carbon Market Watch works to ensure that carbon pricing and other climate policies cut pollution and drive a just transition towards zero-carbon societies. The NGO utilizes evidence-based advocacy to improve climate action through market-based solutions working in concert with sound regulatory policy.  Gilles Dufrasne leads Carbon Market Watch's work on global carbon markets. He has been following carbon market negotiations at the UN climate and aviation agencies, as well as developments on the voluntary carbon market. Gilles is a member of the expert panel of the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM),  and the Technical Advisory Group of the Science-based Targets Initiative (SBTI). In this episode we discuss: ●      The two types of carbon markets (what they are, and how they're different) ●      The issues with carbon offsets ●      The most important thing any business can do to impact climate change   Key Takeaways: ●      Fighting climate change is a learning journey for all of us. This is new territory. A common global enemy. Unfortunately, time isn't a luxury we have. We need to test, experiment, learn, and adjust at an accelerated rate to avoid collective disaster. One key element that will help us on this journey is standardized and transparent reporting requirements for companies across the globe. This will enable employees, investors, consumers, and governments to all make informed decisions that collectively move us in the right direction. ●      Regulations that raise the bar of sustainability requirements across industries change the business equation. It makes the capital investment needed to innovate more sustainable practices level across companies, and the competitive advantage of cutting corners is removed from the equation. It also opens a door to collaboration on system solutions across industries, creating a far bigger shift than the impact a single company can make by adopting individual sustainable practices. ●      Remarks from US Senator Robert Kennedy in 1968 are very relevant to the need to diversify how we measure success and prosperity. He says, “Too much and for too long, we seemed to have surrendered personal excellence and community values in the mere accumulation of material things….If we judge the United States of America by [GNP] - that Gross National Product counts air pollution and cigarette advertising, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage. It counts special locks for our doors and the jails for the people who break them. It counts the destruction of the redwood and the loss of our natural wonder in chaotic sprawl. It counts napalm and counts nuclear warheads…Yet the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country, it measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile. And it can tell us everything about America except why we are proud that we are Americans.

  Landaas & Company newsletter  June edition now available. Advisors on This Week's Show Kyle Tetting Dave Sandstrom Adam Baley (with Max Hoelzl, Joel Dresang, engineered by Jason Scuglik) Week in Review (May 22-26, 2023) Significant Economic Indicators & Reports Monday No major reports Tuesday The annual sales rate of new houses increased un April for the third month in a row and was up nearly 12% from the year before. The pace was 2% below where it was at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and down 33% from its recent peak in late 2020. The Commerce Department said the median price fell 8% from April 2022 to just under $421,000. Wednesday No major reports Thursday The four-week moving average for initial unemployment insurance claims was unchanged with just one increase in the last six weeks, according to new data from the Labor Department. An indication of employer reluctance to let workers go, the moving average was down 37% from its long-time average going back to 1967. Some 1.6 million Americans received jobless benefits in the latest week, down 2.8% from the week before but up 24% from the year before. The U.S. economy grew slightly faster than initially estimated in the first quarter, rising at an annual rate of 1.3%. At first, the Bureau of Economic Analysis figured gross domestic product grew at a 1.1% annual pace, but consumer spending, exports, government spending and commercial investments increased more than estimated. Offsets occurred in part through declines in inventories and decreased residential spending – for the eighth consecutive quarter. The inflation-adjusted level of GDP was up 1.6% from the first quarter of 2022 and was 6.8% above the pre-pandemic peak. The Federal Reserve Board's preferred inflation indicator showed a 4.2% increase from the year before, unchanged from previous estimates. The National Association of Realtors said its pending home sales index was unchanged in April but down more than 20% from April 2022 and down about 21% from what the trade group considers normal. The association blamed limited inventory and affordability challenges for a lull in commitments from homebuyers. Having more houses for sale, the Realtors said, would spur sales. Friday The Bureau of Economic Analysis said consumer spending rose 0.8% in April, the fourth gain in a row and the highest since January. Personal income meanwhile rose 0.4%, sending the personal saving rate down to 4.1% of disposable income, the first dip in seven months. In the same report, the Federal Reserve's preferred gauge of inflation rose 4.4% from April 2022, up from 4.2% in March. That's down from a four-decade high of 7% last June but more than double the Fed's long-term target of 2% inflation. A precursor to spending, consumer sentiment, declined further in May, erasing half the gains made since hitting an all-time low last June. The University of Michigan said descending sentiment mirrored how consumers reacted to the partisan debt ceiling standoff in 2011. Surveys showed consumers steady on inflation expectations and personal financial outlooks but worried that a recession would inflict lasting pain. The Commerce Department said military aircraft boosted durable goods orders 1.1% in April. Excluding the volatile transportation sector, orders slipped 0.2%; excluding military equipment, orders declined 0.6%. Since April, total orders rose 2.6% but were up just 0.3% excluding transportation and up 1.1% excluding defense orders. A proxy for business investments rose 1.4% from March and was up 2.7% from April 2022. MARKET CLOSINGS FOR THE WEEK Nasdaq – 12976, up 318 points or 2.5% Standard & Poor's 500 – 4205, up 13 points or 0.3% Dow Jones Industrial – 33093, down 333 points or 1.0% 10-year U.S. Treasury Note – 3.81%, up 0.17% Not a Landaas & Company client yet? Click here to learn more.

The Edmonton Oilers had a legendary performance by Leon Draisaitl, who scored all four of his team's goals in VGK's opening series win 6-4. But every time Draisaitl scored a goal, VGK had a near-immediate response. After Draisaitl's opening goal, on the power play, VGK's Ivan Barbeshev scored :40 later. Then Michael Amadio, then Mark Stone. Draisaitl went to the trick shot on a goal behind tendy Laurant Brossoit that caromed off the back of Brossoit and into the net. After a scoreless second period, Draisaitl's hat trick goal was met by Barbeshev's second goal - the response just 1:01 after the Edmonton goal. Chandler Stephenson scored quickly after that on a horrible Oilers line change that eventually cost them the game. Jack Eichel added an empty netter when he picked the pocket of Conner McDavid late in the game. VGK's defense played well in spurts - they held the Oilers without a shot for 13 minutes in the opening period and cleared the puck whenever it appeared to be a long Edmonton possession. Chris also talks about the coaching edge for VGK. And we discuss Edmonton marking Mark Stone with repeated cross-checks in his back.FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.

State officials on both sides of the political aisle are considering creating carbon offset programs to monetize their state lands. These initiatives give states a new revenue source by charging companies to protect state forests, in exchange for carbon offsets needed to reach their corporate net-zero commitments. But environmentalists have concerns about whether these programs are actually effective and state legislatures aren't always on board. POLITICO's Jordan Wolman breaks down how states are balancing environmental concerns, industry interests and the need to generate revenue. Plus, President Joe Biden says he will veto a House solar tariff resolution if it reaches his desk.   Jordan Wolman is a sustainability reporter for POLITICO.  Josh Siegel is an energy reporter for POLITICO.  Nirmal Mulaikal is a POLITICO audio host-producer.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Donation offsets for ChatGPT Plus subscriptions, published by Jeffrey Ladish on March 16, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I've decided to donate $240 to both GovAI and MIRI to offset the $480 I plan to spend on ChatGPT Plus over the next two years ($20/month).I don't have a super strong view on ethical offsets, like donating to anti-factory farming groups to try to offset harm from eating meat. That being said, I currently think offsets are somewhat good for a few reasons:They seem much better than simply contributing to some harm or commons problem and doing nothing, which is often what people would do otherwise.It seems useful to recognize, to notice, when you're contributing to some harm or commons problem. I think a lot of harm comes from people failing to notice or keep track of ways their actions negatively impact others, and the ways that common incentives push them to do worse things.A common Effective Altruism argument against offsets is that they don't make sense from a consequentialist perspective. If you have a budget for doing good, then spend your whole budget on doing as much as possible. If you want to mitigate harms you are contributing to, you can offset by increasing your "doing good" budget, but it doesn't make sense to specialize your mitigations to the particular area where you are contributing to harm rather than the area you think will be the most cost effective in general.I think this is a decently good point, but doesn't move me enough to abandon the idea of offsets entirely. A possible counter-argument is that offsets can be a powerful form of coordination to help solve commons problems. By publicly making a commitment to offset a particular harm, you're establishing a basis for coordination - other people can see you really care about the issue because you made a costly signal. This is similar for the reasons to be vegan or vegetarian - it's probably not the most effective from a naive consequentialist perspective, but it might be effective as a point of coordination via costly signaling.After having used ChatGPT (3.5) and Claude for a few months, I've come to believe that these tools are super useful for research and many other tasks, as well as useful for understanding AI systems themselves. I've also started to use Bing Chat and ChatGPT (4), and found them to be even more impressive as research and learning tools. I think it would be quite bad for the world if conscientious people concerned about AI harms refrained from using these tools, because I think it would disadvantage them in significant ways, including in crucial areas like AI alignment and policy. Unfortunately both can be true:1) Language models are really useful and can help people learn, write, and research more effectively2) The rapid development of huge models is extremely dangerous and a huge contributor to AI existential riskI think OpenAI, and to varying extent other scaling labs, are engaged in reckless behavior scaling up and deploying these systems before we understand how they work enough to be confident in our safety and alignment approaches. And also, I do not recommend people in the "concerned about AI x-risk" reference class refrain from paying for these tools, even if they do not decide to offset these harms. The $20/month to OpenAI for GPT-4 access right now is not a lot of money for a company spending hundreds of millions training new models. But it is something, and I want to recognize that I'm contributing to this rapid scaling and deployment in some way.Weighing all this together, I've decided offsets are the right call for me, and I suspect they might be right for many others, which is why I wanted to share my reasoning here. To be clear, I think concrete actions aimed at quality alignment research or AI policy aimed at buying more time are much mo...

Sustainability news doesn't stop, nor does the weather, nor do GHG emissions. I've a bit of catching up to do, including XR, more extreme weather, wood burning stoves, the government's environmental plan, FOMO and FOFO, the controversy over Verra and carbon offsets, the future for podcasts, the financial climate, the unlawful arrest of journalists, biodiversity and the cost of Twitter, a comment from Greta and a whole lot more that I'm going to have to hold over until next week.

This week, Riley, Milo, and Alice join Dr Jess Green (@greenprofgreen) to discuss the concept of carbon offsets and how they're not the foolproof solution to climate change that every huge polluter who definitely wants to keep polluting seems to think they are!

The voluntary carbon offsets market is growing as companies and countries look to meet their climate goals. Offsets from agriculture have been getting attention recently. While they comprise only 1% of total offsets today, their potential to spur innovation and change in agricultural practices means there is scope for a much bigger impact. From soil management to livestock-related activities, farmers are at the heart of the agriculture offsets market. Today, we speak about what agriculture carbon offsets are, what one needs to think about when considering whether the emissions reductions are additional, and who is keeping an eye on them. To provide us with those details, Kyle Harrison, Head of Sustainability Research at BNEF, joins us on the show. For further reading on this topic, BNEF subscribers can read, Agriculture Carbon Offsets Outlook: Barren to Bountiful, at BNEF on the Bloomberg Terminal, and bnef.com or via our mobile app.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
