Andrew, This is so silly! Is virtue-signaling that important that otherwise grown educated people like yourself resort to such wacky ideas? "Binge buy" carbon credits so Greta can "justify" a flight?! This is a circus sideshow.

Dear Greta,
Over 100 years ago, humans developed a new technology called the airplane. They run off fossil fuels and can get you to Madrid in a few hours. If you attended school, you might have learned this.

Dear Greta,
Millions of people fly on airplanes every day. Your life doesn't need to be so complicated. You are being lied to by the adults around you.
You should be in school enjoying yourself, not being tortured by unscrupulous people using you for propaganda.

Swedish climate kid Greta Thunberg was ferried across the Atlantic on the elite racing yacht Malizia II by Pierre Casiraghi, a member of Monaco’s ruling Grimaldi family, and the youngest grandson of Princess Grace Kelly. The yacht helped protect the Earth from emissions from plane trips by Greta, her father, and a cameraman. Trans-Atlantic flights both ways for the yacht’s crew and Greta’s handlers did add up though. Apparently Greens cannot cross oceans via noblesse oblige alone…
Imoca 60 class yachts are wonders of modern engineering, though carbon fiber yachts (as the name might imply), are not exactly low carbon. They are made primarily from petroleum and natural gas/propane. Carbon fiber yachts are pumped out of the ground by oil companies.
How green is St Greta’s Ark? Er, not very
“Ignore for a moment both the grotesque cynicism of egregiously exploiting a clearly troubled and vulnerable child to advance an eco-totalitarian political agenda, and the incongruity that few of us can whistle up a $4million, 18-metre (60ft) yacht.”
