A consumer class action lawsuit filed Tuesday claims Delta Air Lines inaccurately billed itself as the world's 'first carbon-neutral airline' and should pay damages.
A Delta Airlines jetliner is pulled out of a gate at Denver International Airport Friday, May 26, 2023, in Denver.
Companies around the world buy carbon credits to cancel out their carbon releases with projects that promise to absorb carbon dioxide out of the air, or prevent pollution that would've happened. But they've been under the spotlight in recent months with claims their benefits are exaggerated. Delta announced three years ago it would go carbon neutral, which means releasing no more climate-changing pollution into the air than it absorbs. It can also mean paying to guarantee it is absorbed elsewhere.
"I felt comfortable paying more because I was neutralizing when I needed to travel for work or to see my family," she said. She said she felt frustration and regret when she began having doubts about Delta's offsets.
