Are we stuck in neutral over carbon offsets?

Years ago, we environmentalists were complaining that people were happy just to ease their conscience a little by paying up and supporting the plethora of green groups eager to grab their money, rather than taking any real action themselves. Today, there's a danger that people are still stuck in neutral as they pay to offset their personal carbon emissions instead of making any practical changes to their behavoiur.
