There are plenty of ways to offset emissions,

show me a single one that can offset any significant amount of carbon emissions in any kind of useful timeline. they range from hideously expensive to outright insane (requiring more energy to sequester than was emitted in the burning). of course you're dumb enough to believe in these fantasies - big oil are the ones selling those too.

you're a fool, who's entertained by foolish things, and believes foolish solutions will come save you.

Carbon removal has been a viable solution for decades it just lacks the support necessary to scale. It has been proven to reduce the overall measued rate of c02 emissions here

Also, your entire argument is strangely pedantic. By your logic, anything that emits carbon needs to go, even if it's neglible. We humans emit more carbon than we intake, so should we just kill everyone? The same goes for house pets. Should we just kill them all/make them illegal? Im genuinely asking because so far, your argument makes no logical sense.

Carbon removal

holy 5 months later batman...

It will always be more expensive to remove carbon from the atmosphere than to simply stop burning the fuels we have adequate replacements for.

No one is suggesting we'll have electric jets and shipping; but even industrial processes like steel foundries can go electric. Concrete too.

eliminating every producer of emissions objectively eliminates trillions in capture.

Furthermore, injection capture and other methods remain unproven for long periods - we don't want a solution that blows up 200 years from now.

You do you, but your sophistry about pets and killing all humans is unfounded and ridiculous. Akin to your premise.
