In the wild and unregulated offset marketplace, one particularly inconvenient truth is that plenty of products that promise reductions to offset your own carbon emissions don’t deliver.
Now don’t get me wrong—done right, offsets can be a pretty effective way for individuals and businesses to neutralize their climate impact (after, of course, reducing emissions as much as possible).
Done wrong, and carbon offsets will get you nothing for something.

There will always be some that abuse a situation and avoiding them in this situation seems tricky.
I smell government intervention coming.........
Regulation commitees......
Taxes on your offsets.........
More spreading around of the general publics money in the name of 'green'.
