Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: It is becoming fashionable to use 'carbon offsetting' in order to salve your conscience about the pollution to which you contribute when taking an airline flight. Companies have been set up that enable you to buy offsets that, for example, help to build biogas digesters in India, install hydroelectric power in Bulgaria or distribute energy efficient light bulbs in Jamaica. There are two reasons why we should disapprove of this practice. First, the availability of the scheme makes people think there is nothing wrong with supporting the carbon polluting aviation industry. If people want to contribute to such schemes, they could do so without taking a flight Second, the companies that offer carbon offsetting are not sufficiently regulated for customers to know whether the money paid over really does go to the energy saving scheme, or even whether the scheme really will save energy and thereby reduce carbon emissions.a. What do you think is the claim of the passage?b. What are the reasons presented to support the claim?c. Are the reasons sufficient to support the claim?
