Greenpeace's chief scientist has said it is 'not okay' to claim, as Elton John did on Harry and Meghan's behalf today, that private jet travel is 'carbon neutral' as a result of a donation to a carbon offset scheme.
Doug Parr told MailOnline: 'There's no way any current tech deals with the load of CO2 you've released on a personal level'.
In an Instagram message today Sir Elton John responded to criticism of Harry and Meghan's recent private jet vacations by insisting he had made a donation to offset the carbon cost of the trips.
The royal couple's return flights in private jets from England to Ibiza, and then from England to Nice, generated an estimated seven tonnes of CO2.

Cub Scout Strippers. How quickly people forget.
Carbon offsets are just as bogus as the indulgences sold by the Catholic Church to rich sinners to atone for murder, rape, & theft. These people are the height of hypocrisy.
Not surprised & not fooled. If these people really believed in the global warming scam they should lead by example.
Megan Markle will be a continuing embarrassment to the royal family until Harry divorces her. He married a lefty-loony, diva wannabe entertainer & that’s what he got.
I suspect the queen is the last respected monarch Britain will have.
Yep, Meghan is the worst thing to happen to the monarchy since Oliver Cromwell.
How many do I need to buy to offset making fun of a tranny?
How about buying credits so that I don't have to bake a cake for a same sex pretend wedding?
Maybe we should be able to purchase credits allowing us to drive cars without pollution control devices on them.
Come to think of it why can't I buy credits to offset dumping used motor oil in the ground? Same logic. Or lack thereof.
Carried to its logical extension, liberals should be allowed to do anything they want, up to and including harm to other people. Isn't that what the Kennedys have done? From what I've read liberals consider Teddy Kennedy's time in the Senate as offsets for killing Mary Jo Kopechne.
They consider Bill Clinton's actions while in office as offsets for his brutality and rape of women.
Even the wax museum is splitting them up.
I wonder who whispered in their ear to do this

So Goodbye Carbon Scam Show.
That yellow green road is full of potholes.

WINDSOR WONDERLAND Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wanted to live in Windsor Castle with the Queen and Prince Philip
al gore part deux
I’m not up on this carbon off-setting stuff. If some rich a-hole buys some sort of carbon credit, who gets the money? Can I sell these things myself? Heaven knows I can always use free money.
“Yep, Meghan is the worst thing to happen to the monarchy since Oliver Cromwell.”
You seem to have forgotten about Prince Charles, the environmental nut case, as well as Prince Andrew, the apparent mini-version of Jeffrey Epstein.
The solution is for the Brits to abolish the monarchy and save themselves a lot of money each year.
Not before she pops out another paycheck, er, uh, baby.
“It’s OK, I paid my indulgences!”
The sun warms our planet.
If I could have any woman in the world, I’d get a divorced, liberal, casting couch actress older than me...
I don’t think Rocket Man is a Rocket Scientist

Criticizing any non-white liberal for any reason is racist, of course.
Exhaust pipes excite Elton.
Actually, criticizing ANY liberal is grounds for being called a racist. After all, they are members of some race or another, right? And criticism equals unthinking hate, right? /sarc
