Dougal discusses carbon offsets, how the concept works, how the system, which is voluntary is enforced, answering the questions: Whether the carbon market might be a dangerous distraction at a time when decisive action is needed in areas of conservation and changing the way companies operate? and; The hypothetical question, Does carbon travel offsets encourage more flights and do nothing to discourage waste?
