First of all I believe the concept of carbon offsets are a
capitulation to polluting industries allowing them to continue
business as usual which exacerbates our human induced climate
change challenge.  To make things worse we have a lumber industry
that seem to have succeeded in turning reality on it’s head. 
Deforestation is a major contributor to climate change.  For the
timber industry, Cal Fire, and Air Recourse Board to claim that
clearcut logging is good for our climate is an excellent example of
Orwelian news speak.  It is a claim that suggests our state
agencies put in place to protect citizens are in fact paid industry
lobbyists doing the bidding of SPI and other large timber firms
whose policy is “even age silviculture” (clear cut logging =
deforestation.)
