Apparently Elon's jet emitted 1895 ton CO2 during 2022

Elon's operating cost for the jet is rumoured to be just under 3 million dollar

Removing the CO2 emissions would cost less than 2 million euro. He's a multi billionaire, so he can afford it

All numbers are from the internet and could be wrong

@JohanEmpa I know you are a keen advocate of #carbonremoval, but I beg you walk the fine line between doing your best with what is available (aka #greenserver, #treeplanting) and promoting the belief that buying #greencredits or paying into #carbonoffsets will actually REMOVE carbon from the atmosphere. It wont'. #Additionality is barely alive, in fact I'd argue it's long dead. #reduceemissions first, aka #stopflying.

@sheislaurence
Can I not advocate for it a little bit at least 🥺

Elon can stop flying now and also remove everything he's already emitted until now.

It's possible to remove carbon from the atmosphere and permanently store it

@JohanEmpa if you advocate for #carbonremoval, please advocate for #additionality and understand #mitigation deterrence. Please also keep yourself actively informed with voices that are critical of #carbon removal. Here is an accessible sketch by British comedian #johnoliver that should make clear what some of the main problems are. That should give you tools to dive into the data. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6p8zAbFKpW0
