The way to think about carbon offsets is to simplify the problem as analogous to "excess mortality" - if something doesn't actually increase excess mortality, it's not as bad as you think it is (and vice versa).
The same applies to carbon offsets: if their use produced an excess (or dearth) of CO2, we would notice.
