Does carbon offsetting remove the risk of global warming?
Measures such as tree planting or manufacture of wind turbines and solar cells to offset the amount of carbon dioxide produced by air travel or other human activity contributes to the reduction of carbon dioxide. However, CO2 emission cuts would make the biggest difference to removing the risk of global warming. Additionally, in the short-term, carbon sequestration may help.
