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.

Reminds me, I never bought my carbon credits from Al Gore. I’m in big trouble now.

I don’t need carbon credits. I looked into it and found out that CO2 doesn’t warm the planet.
Only people who believe the lie need carbon credits. :)
“The singer wrote on Twitter: “I am deeply distressed by today’s distorted and malicious account in the press surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s private stay at my home in Nice last week.
“Prince Harry’s Mother, Diana Princess Of Wales was one of my dearest friends. “
I would like to add Diana and Elton had a huge falling out over Versace.
Prince Harry and Meghan have been troubled by too much carbon on them.
Diana was a fag-hag pal of the perv.
An Elton John is an authority on what????
The technology to actually pull the carbon out of the atmosphere is already available and could be implemented with enough cash and meanwhile Bill Gates is funding an operation to dim the appearance of the sun over the whole planet. All this as we are headed into a climate minimum Little Ice Age)signaled or maybe caused by the lack of sunspots. This will be good for radically reducing the green stuff that shades us and feeds us. Worldwide famine is maybe in the future if this stuff is brought off.
They dont need a private plane for security. I read that the Royal Family gets a certain amount of rows in first class. I think 4 rows.
This is their attempt to deal with the backlash that is growing over the private jets.
“Carbon based Units” are generally inferior— said something many moons ago....
Even if he did, the co2 was still released into the atmosphere.
How does a donation offset that?
Seriously? You’d think all of these Holier Than Though CO2 spewing HYPOCRITES would at least make an effort to Jet Set with one another!
I mean, they all travel in the same circles; why not just rent ONE plane or take DiCaprio’s biggest to their annual sprees here and there across the globe?
I mean, if *I* need something from Walmart, I always ask a neighbor or my Mom if she needs anything, or wants to ride along!
It’s the LEAST we can do (in their case the VERY lest!) to save Mudder Erf!
*SNORT*
I still maintain the two year clock is running out on Harkle. The word estranged will appear in articles about them soon.

Not even close to passing a second grade “science” test.
Stick to music there, boy.
