The BBC News Channel invited the chap from Responsible Travel into the studio this morning to allow him to explain why they no longer do 'carbon offsetting', and he seemed perfectly sincere and sensible. To put the 'other' point of view, they invited somebody from Forum For The Future, which is rather unsurpringly a fakecharity, which received over £1m from the government and the EU in 2008 (see note 2 to the accounts).
The corresponding article on the BBC's website follows the template to the letter - first an outline of the actual story, then responses from a couple of fakecharities* and finally a quote from a government minister saying how great the government is but that "more must be done".
* The International Carbon Reduction and Offset Alliance is the umbrella body/lobby group for a whole raft of fakecharities and fakeprivatecompanies such as Carbon Clear, The CarbonNeutral Company, ClimateCare (part of J P Morgan), Climate Friendly, co2balance, NativeEnergy, targetneutral (part of British Petroleum!) and TerraPass.
Friends of the Earth was outed a while ago.

The BBC, being impartial, almost always give both sides of the question.
During the Kosovo war they discussed both sides - that we should bomb Serbs to help the KLA (engage in genocide & worse but that was censored) or the alternative - that we send in ground troops to help the KLA (engage in genocide & worse)(even though they knew the latter was a military impossibility).
Fortunately every single employee of the BBC who is not a wholly corrupt, lying Nazi child raping parasite denounced this. Unfortunately the number of such BBC emplloyees is zero.
Terrapass - the carbon offset product seller. By the way - have you seen Erin Craig, the CEO?
NC, let me rephrase that "As ever, the BBC invited somebody to put the other side of the same point of view".
JH, I have now, I'll file her under "Things I didn't need to be reminded of by commenters". Along with Racey's "Lay your love on me"
JH - unfair. That comment should have come with a "it will frighten horses" warning label.
