I agree with the principle here, but worry that carbon offsets will always be a lossy abstraction. My prior is that any metric that is hard to measure, while having strong financial incentives to game, will be heavily gamed. Offsets are hard to track and measure accurately and we've already seen a lot of dishonest behavior in this area. This is not to say that banning private jets is the answer, but I think the actual solution (if we get to one) will have to be a messy hodgepodge of approaches.
