The previous state of the article wasn't exactly correct, since carbon offsetting is not actually offsetting the "polluting" effects of CO2. As the article correctly pointed out, CO2 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.

I'm not entirely sure what this means, but it seems like an uncited opinion. The fact tag has been there since November. HelpJazz 21:50, 3 January 2008 (EST)
