Carbon offsets sure make the globe-trotting elites feel good, but the morality of it would be no different from (a purely hypothetical situation follows!) my husband buying "wife beating" offsets from his buddy, who promises not to smack his wife so my husband could keep smacking me. Two wrongs never make a right, and it is erroneous to think two wrongs cancel out if one wrong is "balanced" by the conversion of a second wrong to neutral, with a corresponding transfer of "credits".
