“Carbon offsets” are the equivalent of: I drive down the road throwing garbage out of my car and then I buy “credits” from someone who isn’t throwing garbage out of their car.

What a JOKE.

The campaign said it will partner with NativeEnergy, a Vermont-based carbon offsets provider, to invest in renewable energy projects to balance the emissions created by its automobile and air travel

Money laundering in the 21st Century.

He needs to buy indulgences for those mansions and his private jet travel.

“How does he heat his three mansions? “

I’m guessing he’ll try to heat them with carbon offsets, though i’m not too clear on just exactly how many BTUs carbon offsets contain ...

“can he use campaign funds to do it ?”

i don’t see why not ... though “offsetting all the carbon consumed by his campaign as well as event venue and attendee-related emissions could consume an awful lot of his campaign funds ... will be interesting to see if he quietly tries to back down on this when funds run low ...
