Many people have no clue, beyond the buzzwords and pop-science, about what various carbon imprint jargon means both literally and practically. One of the favorite things that folks often toss around is "Carbon neutral", just like you can read on the bottom of the Google Search page online, where they claim that Google has been "Carbon neutral since 2007".
However, in order for anyone or any company to claim that they are carbon neutral, that means that they already overproduce carbon waste products. In order to achieve a negotiated level of Carbon neutrality, the overproducer of Carbon must purchase a balance of anti-carbon footprint credits from someone else. According to Bloomberg those credits can be falsified.
Check out this Google search of the carbon neutral topic. It is very interesting reading.
