Interesting argument - climate activists are bad because they need to come around to supporting policies like the ones they passed two years ago and generally view as their biggest achievement to date.

1. Insurers profit off fossil fuels that kill Californians, destroy their property, and destroy the CA insurance market.

2. Insurers abandon CA.

3. CA makes concessions to insurers to lure them back ... but fails to stop them from supporting fossil fuels.

See the problem?

A vanishingly small percentage of voluntary offsets are legit.

Besides, the better move is to avoid creating more carbon pollution in the first place.

The music industry needs a real leader on this.

Plenty of places to read about the problems with offsets. In the media, coverage in The Guardian and Bloomberg has been great.

This podcast will also tell you what you need to know: www.volts.wtf/p/voluntary-...

I'm not kidding - if anyone can decarbonize touring, it's Taylor Swift. Go for it!

Fantastic that you care about climate & are loud and proud about it!

Unfortunately, nearly all carbon offsets are a sham.

A revolutionary thing you could do: Find a way to really decarbonize touring - not w/offsets, but zero emissions. Others would follow your example if you'd blaze the trail.
