I realize it's tempting to say what others should do, but it's certainly not what I'm asking, nor what I'm interested in.
Thanks for the comment! Curious: if the offsets work as claimed, doesn't that reduce CO2 in the atmosphere? And if one purchases enough offsets, then won't that compensate for one's other CO2 emissions? TBC, I'm not disagreeing, just trying to understand your argument better!

Thanks for the opportunity. For NZ it's about 7.7Tonnes/Capita. More than 80% renewable power helps. My point is that offsetting masks the CO2 built into imports or the contribution of energy exports, creating a false facade of sustainability while the global totals increase.

Thanks for clarifying. In principle, it ought to be possible to figure out what emissions a person is responsible for (i.e., all the way up the supply chain). And then offset that amount. Or even, say 2x or 10x that amount.

I worked on comms for coal trains that run to Australia's coasts 24/7. Scoops of coal bigger than a house. I have watched CO2/climate since taking papers in Atmospheric physics in 1978. IMO people in the U.S. and Europe don't see the scale of it all.https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Markets/Commodities/Coal-expected-to-be-Australia-s-most-valuable-export-in-2018-19 …

Yes we can reduce our personal contribution. Sure don't eat an NZ avocado in Europe, and I'll enjoy it here. Just be clear that the relentless and colossal transformation of the environment is taking place regardless. 50% of Malaysia in palm oil forests/peat going/gone in C02.
