SUNDAY SCREENING The CO2 Lie

A marketing spin that falsely purports to help the climate

21WIRE

Our weekly documentary film is curated by the editorial team at 21WIRE.

Large companies around the world are presenting themselves as green and clean. Their promise: Where unavoidable emissions occur, they can be offset elsewhere.

But do the environmental projects they point to really help the global climate?

The documentary looks at a forest reforestation project in the Honduran jungle and a project in Bangladesh that strives to bring solar-powered water disinfection to a village. Local people are often unaware that they are part of a climate effort, especially since these projects seldom improve their lives. Nor do these projects demonstrate any significant global environmental benefit.

Nevertheless, the carbon offsetting market is growing steadily, quadrupling between 2020 and 2021 alone. It’s no wonder that critics speak of ‘greenwashing’: a mere marketing spin, that falsely purports to help the climate.

Run time: 42 min
Written and Directed by Martin Voill
Production: ORF III Diego 5

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
