Of course, this [1975] alarmism sounds almost identical to what the media publishes today, except that it is for the opposite reason! The problem is that it is hard to know with the excerpt Williams gave on his Science Show promotion the other day, whether or not he and Ritchie-Calder were not referring to global cooling and the impending ice age, if indeed Williams was thinking much about climate change at all.

The WWF hopes to raise $1 million for future biogas projects through the voluntary carbon offset market.

The organization gets credit for each ton of carbon not produced as a result of using biogas. It sells the credits to Myclimate, an NGO (nongovernmental organization) in Zurich, which in turn distributes offsets to individuals, airlines and other companies seeking to reduce their carbon footprint.
