The previous state of the article wasn't exactly correct, since carbon offsetting is not actually offsetting the "polluting" effects of CO<sub>2</sub>. As the article correctly pointed out, CO<sub>2</sub> is not a pollutant. Because of this, I have removed the "deceit" category; whether or not carbon offsets do anything can be argued, but they aren't deceitful. I have inserted a little closer definition of carbon offsetting, as well as inserted an example. I also added the interesting fact that planting trees doesn't reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide.
