What part of my question was a defense? I've said this several times but just to reiterate: You are in the middle of a forest fire yelling at the pine cones!

Now. Regardless of what "someone else is doing worse" GE is literally flying a second jet behind the CEO's jet just in case they need it. So question stands: Are you working to put out the forest fire, or are you just going to keep scolding the pine cones?

I am not comparing my personal CO2 to a corporation. I was pointing out [other] frivolous Aviation CO2 emissions
