Delta Airlines Facing Class Action Lawsuit

All right. Well, Delta Airlines facing a class action lawsuit which is alleges the company inaccurately claimed to be the world's first carbon neutral airline. The complaint alleges that the company relied on largely invalid carbon offsets to make the claim. Companies purchased those offsets also known as carbon credits to cancel out their emissions with projects designed to curb or prevent pollution. A California resident filed a lawsuit saying the benefits from Delta's offsets would have happened without the company's investment which in turn makes them invalid while the resident argued that Delta used its carbon offsets to charge higher prices for tickets and that she would not have purchased the tickets at that price if she knew the nature of the offsets. Delta first announced it would go carbon neutral three years ago. And the suit claims to act on behalf of California residents who flew Delta and lived in the States since March of 2020.
