Decarbonising Aviation

Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 September 2021. It occurred during Debate on Decarbonising Aviation.

The hon. Lady is making a powerful case about the jet zero strategy. Does she agree that that strategy is overly dependent on carbon offsets, and that increasingly, climate scientists are pointing out that carbon offsetting is actually very limited, given that all sectors in all countries need to get to real zero and there are limitations on how much carbon dioxide forests can absorb? Instead of playing accounting games, we should be treating the climate emergency as a real emergency.
