The only way to get around having a 1/3 full cabin would be for the prince to travel with three times the entourage. There is no way they could put normal revenue passengers in with him, even carefully screened ones. Just be thankful he didn't take an entire 747 all to himself. The couple will undoubtedly travel in a train car pulled by an electric locomotive (the only kind that travel that stretch of tracks) as opposed to in (or on?) the locomotive. One wonders if he will order a special train all for him, or hitch some private cars onto the end of an amtrak revenue train.

They certainly don't mean we can just continue to grow aviation - which off setting rather implies we can.

Carbon offsets aren't necessarily the way to go - it's a bit of a shell game in some ways. Regardless, can we expect a man who needs his type of security to travel with the utmost efficiency? I'm not sure that we can. If anyone needs the stern talking to, it's Gore for his eight wasted years and for making a film that doesn't spotlight, even one tiny bit, the PEOPLE responsible for so much of our environmental damage (alas, dear Al has close, close ties to quite a few of these people). I know, criticizing Gore is sacreligious in the eco-community, but the man is a false prophet. Actually, Gore can’t lecture him as he pulls around in SUV’s with regularity AND flys like a madman.
