Does carbon offsetting really work? Yes, planting lots of trees that can help absorb CO2 from the atmosphere is a good thing. But it can not make your existence carbon neutral or will save us all from the impact of global warming and climate change alone.
As often is the case, the best approach to deal with global warming is a combination of measures. One aspect is to avoid the carbon dioxide entering the earth's atmosphere in the first place. Another is to plant lots of trees that can help absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and naturally store it away for generations to come.
So, invest in low energy light bulbs, energy efficient appliances and so on, and plant lots of trees to help offset your emissions. Either by planting your own trees or by purchaing these from ETHICAL CARBON OFFSET companies like treeflights.com, which does not claim that their activities can make your existance carbon neutral.

That huge sways of forest once covered most of
the planet and that it absorbed so much CO2 from the atmosphere that
the planet over millions of years cooled to today's levels.
The
carbon was stored away under ground for millions of years until humans
decided to dig is up and burn it in coal fired power plants and release
it back into the atmosphere triggering rapid global warming and climate
change.
