*Ethics of voluntary offsets
Goodin (1994) has likened pollution permits to indulgences sold by the medieval Catholic Church. These medieval moral sin offsets created a market whereby the rich could pay professional pilgrims, prayers and penitents. This allowed relief of the rich person’s conscience and less time in purgatory, without the need to personally undertake arduous tasks or indeed stop sinning. The system replaced personal action to address wrongdoing with a monetary transaction allowing immoral actions to be justified. Sin would perversely increase because, for the wealthy, indulgences provided a lower cost alternative to lengthy penances (Ekelund et al. 1992). The analogy has also been applied to carbon offsets (Monbiot 2006; Economist 2006). If regarded in the same way as indulgences then GHG permits are a means of paying to undertake a wrongful act. Just as God was the ultimate arbiter in the next life so the validity and effectiveness of GHG credits is left for future generations to determine when they confront the impacts of climate change and the originators of the harm have long since passed away.*
