I think it's pretty clear that commuting 1000 miles by private jet very easily puts you in the top 0.1% of individual polluters even by Western standards. They emit like 2 tonnes of CO_2 in an hour and the average American does like 14 tonnes in an entire year. So even if only goes to Seattle once a week that's like 8 tonnes (assuming 500 MPH flying speed, roundtrip). Every two weeks he's emitting what an average American does, JUST COMMUTING.
