I think you’re right but I didn’t check and the authors don’t supply any information. Perhaps you could offset carbon by planting trees or by future carbon capture tech.
It feels to me like many arguments in this paper fall under some form of Moral Universalizability - it would be morally wrong to do something if it will clearly be bad if everyone would do it. I think that EA is quite unique as a social movement in that regard, where the actions advocated for by EAs can and should change a lot if they get a lot of success.
