How does that offsetting work? Facebook is going to maintain a growing forest for the next few 100k years?

This is one common strategy to fool people. Fool people by saying they will plant more trees etc., and when push comes to shove they will simply turn their head and probably claim for bankruptcy. These sort of Shenanigans happens so often I really don't trust big companies.

Well, if 100k years is what is needed to offset, then obviously FB can not do that credibly.

Do you have a source that that is the requirement? It's not my understanding.
