You're right to be skeptical [1]. In the end it's better than nothing but it's probably not the most effective method and often times (especially with big corporations) these are bought out just as an excuse to pollute more. Even individual people are likely to use this as an excuse to put off the lifestyle changes (such as buying a new gas car instead of switching to electric or buying fewer clothes or cutting down on electricity/gas usage or installing solar panels).
