They are flying point to point as opposed to the circuitous route that would occur on commercial. Not to mention a probable car rental to get from the commercial airport as opposed to the smaller regional that is probably closer to the end destination. While thousands of small contributions do add significantly to any goal there is a lot to be said for focusing on large contributors. One of these would be the large amount of pollutants issued from the global supply chain. An example would be iron ore and coal from Australia to China then semi- finished steel shipped to mills around the world. Another example would be corporate and governmental travel via commercial air to various faces time meetings instead of video conference. It is ready to poke at a affluent person exercising the power of wealth but real results will occur when all of us work toward practices that will make a difference. France deciding to build more of next generation nuclear will do more to bring down CO2 in Europe than anything solar can do in Northern Europe. Now if we want to compensate the countries in the Sahara for a million hectares of solar panels then a real difference will occur.
