It means it is okay to pollute as long as you are rich enough to pay someone else to clean up the mess you are making.

it's where you pay a company and they promise to release less green house gases by an amount directly related to how much $ you give them. You may or may not be getting scammed.

I think it's when you give money to global warming activists, so they will ignore your excessive polluting.
