A handful of Australian companies are ditching the crutch that is carbon offsets and pursuing genuine emissions cuts, and it’s been no walk in the park.
Real-zero is definitely a real thing. It’s not a particularly complicated or sophisticated thing, but it is real. All it means is zero carbon emissions. Not some emissions that you then offset by purchasing shady “carbon offsets”.
Climate Integrity, whose reporting this article is based on, seems fairly legit, going through their history. Here’s an release of theirs fact checking gas industry lies about gas cooking vs electric.
Oh? Why not? I thought it was a good article.
It sounds like pr. If I had the inclination I’d look into ‘real zero’ a bit more because this is the first time I’ve heard of it.

Thanks. Much appreciated.
