Offsetting

If not for carbon offsetting, we'd be in danger of runaway emissions.

Many scientists around the world think gas emissions from fossil fuels such as oil and coal contribute to global warming. They say one way to reduce the problem is through naturally offsetting carbon dioxide emissions by planting trees and protecting grasslands.

Such offsettings tend to reduce the variations of the aggregate.

But in the absence of a perfect equilibrium i.e. some countries developing over-all deficits and others over-all surpluses, the circular offsettings will have only a limited function to perform.

Ultimately, the need for education on climate change and carbon offsetting could be a determining factor in the success of the carbon offsetting market.

Those writers advocating neglect or the use of a net-of-tax method for that part of the negative timing differences that is larger than the positive ones are, of course, advocating an offsetting of timing differences.

Standards that consider an offsetting of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses are limited.

It is rarely the case that one can actually place hands on the contact of faulted beds, and the displacement is usually indicated by an offsetting of outcrops or the abrupt termination of beds along their strike.

Offsetting is closely related with sweeping. For example, the constant radius offsetting of a planar curve can be given as the boundary curve of the sweep region of a circle moving along the curve.

Misalignment of shafts is an offsetting of their axes.
