That is only partially true. With a working CO2 emission trading scheme this "balancing" means massive amounts of cross financing of beneficial projects, eg for renewable ebergy projects etc. It adds a financial benefit to saving emissions and that is the only language markets seem to understand. It is by no means perfect but it is not just greeneashing and nothing else.
