Carbon offsetting and air travel
In May 2008, the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) published a discussion paper, "Carbon offsetting and air travel - Part 1: CO2 emissions".
This discusses a number of systems whereby people can evaluate the amount of CO2 their flights are responsible for. It draws attention to the shortcomings of some of them: this revised paper includes some of the discussion by the organisations responsible for the calculators.
If you look at all of the calculators for the same flight, you can get quite a wide range of figures! The discussion highlights why this might be, and may motivate something better.
The paper, and part 2 dealing with non-CO2 emissions, can be found on the SEI's website. Visit the Stockholm Environment Institute website. It is also available to IARO members in the IARO library.
