If we agree that carbon emissions are a big problem, and I'm not sure that we do, but if we do agree that they must be reduced, then what exactly is your problem with offsets? Myself, I see them as something of a compromise to vested interests, I don't think Gore, for all his faults, has them as his first choice either. But in theory they should allow reductions in overall emissions.
