Original Note:
This is a full quote of a statement that Bill Gates actually made. https://www.euronews.com/green/2023/02/09/i-am-not-part-of-the-problem-bill-gates-says-his-private-jet-and-climate-activism-are-comp Gates claims he offsets his carbon footprint by funding capture technology and other investment, but this is not testable. 1 hr in a private jet emits 1/4 the carbon an average person does in a year. https://www.transportenvironment.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/2021_05_private_jets_FINAL.pdf
