1. A method for carbon offset computing, the method comprising: determining via a processor a resource consumption amount associated with performing a specified computing task by a computational device in part by using the execution time required for the completion of that task within a data center; and the processor calculating an amount of carbon offset required to compensate for the determined resource consumption amount that is associated with the performance of the specified computing task by the computational device as a function of stored resource consumption data by: invoking a carbon offset level in response to a selection via an interface of the computational device prior to the performance of the processing task by the computational device: querying a policy table containing a plurality of possible computational device resource considerations as a function of invoked carbon offset level; displaying an available subset of the plurality of possible carbon offset levels to a user as a function of the querying of the policy table; implementing at least one of the available subset possible carbon offset levels for the computational device to perform the specified processing task in response to a selection of the implemented at least one possible carbon offset levels; and displaying a carbon offset function as a function of the at least one selected carbon offset level.
