It’s like Micheal Scott yelling “AND WE’RE GOING CARBON NEUTRAL!!!” at the stock holders meeting.

Seems like you missed their other commercial where they said they’d start a nuclear Armageddon in 2049

Just gotta buy some carbon credit and then you can burn as much oil as you want.

And the carbon credits are basically some scammer that promises to plant some trees somewhere remote where nobody can actually check.

Green washing.

Sorry, not an answer here, but a good analogy. It has a lot to do with creative accounting and making up definitions.

The robot dogs with machine guns on their back want to have a word with you about your negative opinions about the company

Probably involves carbon offsets.

Carbon neutral means you try to “offset” your carbon. It’s half scam, half helpful. The idea is if your company produces an unavoidable amount of carbon, you offset this by supporting Carbon-free solutions elsewhere making your net production “neutral”. It’s a scam because sometimes the offset is stuff that was never going to produce carbon, and also because using other areas to claim “neutral” causes a weird double count. Carbon neutral is less good of a solution than carbon free, but it’s a step in the right direction.

However, target year of 2050?? Fucking what? That’s not something to brag about, that’s painfully and embarrassingly slow. That’s embarrassingly slow to be carbon free, much less carbon neutral.
