Who decides what's "excessive" - - you? I paid for it - it's not excessive.

Buying carbon credits is like buying a pet rock. They don't really do anything and world will still be full of rocks.

Buying carbon credits to make up for your excessive use of energy is sort of like donating money to a women's shelter after cheating on your wife.

No.
They're a free market way of getting greenhouse gas reductions at the lowest possible cost to society. A good thing.
