The way carbon offsets currently are made available to people are often a scam. The concept is not (though it would likely be not feasible to offset all carbon everyone produces, so the comic still works bc better than offsetting is not producing in the first place).

I can for example donate money to restore a local bog, and that will have a very real climate impact.

Yah absolutely. Cap and trade actually has worked quite well for a while -- I think the difference being that the caps were being imposed from outside according to a specific finite limit, not just something anyone can make up and start selling. Carbon offsets basically go by Calvinball rules with no oversight whatsoever as far as I'm aware.
