I mean, if they could actually work then they'd be perfectly valid.
Say Carbon-capture were at a point where we could actually say that my paying $100 caused an extra metric ton of CO2 to be extracted from the atmosphere.
Then it actually would work to reduce what I can and offset the rest. Carbon is fungible. If I release 100 tons and capture 120 tons, I've done the world a favor.
The issue is simply that the Carbon Capture schemes seem to be hot air.

Except what if you only offset 30 tons and you produced an additional 80 tons because you thought you offsetted most of your emissions?
