But not if they're paying for that all with offsets, right? Or do you hold to my proposition a?

  Huh? The point of offsets is to reduce carbon. I don’t care about the effect on you personally. If their existence causes more carbon through a combination of: a) ineffective programs and b) secondary physiological effects, then no one should support them (and ideally, they would just be disallowed by regulators — as it would be both in consumers and environmental interests — and replaced with mechanisms and incentives that actually work). For clarity: I think they probably do work and there’s value there, but I think there are good reasons to be skeptical and evaluate carefully.
