At a superficial level of analysis, yes, but you can't turn off all the coal plants, stop oil extraction, convert ice to electric, and distribute sufficient power storage to keep modern life going at a snap of the fingers. If you can offset the emissions while at the same time moving toward renewable and sustainable energy, you're mitigating necessary inefficiencies. Mitigation is better than fantasizing about rapid fossil fuel elimination. There are way too many lives that depend on maintaining the status quo, in terms of power and economics and chemical resources. Progress will be gradual, like cleanup of the pacific garbage patch.
