Delta Air Lines sued over carbon neutrality claims: The complaint in federal court in California alleges the airline relied on carbon offsets that were largely bogus
to cancel out their emissions with projects that promise to absorb carbon dioxide out of the air or prevent pollution. But they’ve been the spotlight in recent months with claims their benefits are exaggerated. Delta is a big customer, purchasing credits from projects including wind and solar projects in India and an Indonesian swamp forest, the lawsuit says.
Berrin argues this enabled the firm to gain market share and charge higher prices. She argues through her attorneys, Haderlein and Kouyoumdjian LLP, that she wouldn’t have bought the tickets — or would have paid less — had she known the nature of the offsets. Delta announced three years ago it would go carbon neutral, which means releasing no more climate-changing pollution than it absorbs, or pays to guarantee is absorbed elsewhere.
