A study funded by the United States-based non-profit organisation,
Clean Air-Cool Planet, widely regarded as a leader in the field, gives
only eight out of 30 providers of carbon "offsets" in the USA, UK,
Germany and Ireland a score of more than five out of 10 for the
service they offer in taking carbon out of the atmosphere.
