Does this mean that given the financial resources to donate a significant amount to green projects, we may all fly around the world at will with a clear conscience? Since eco warriors the Duke & Duchess of Sussex, both eager to lecture the rest of us on our moral duty to address global warming by moderating our lifestyles, have no problem with Elton’s beneficence, one can only assume that money is the answer. However, rationally, regardless of any donation we may make, the actual pollution our journeys create is still exacerbating the problem – isn't it?

The "art of the deal" is to demonstrate the evil created on the planet by poor people having package holidays in Corfu and the need to double/treble or whatever their fuel bills in order to blah blah whatever. While at the same time allowing a long list of knawers (Emma Thomson, Leonardo.., Harry.. Elton - goes on forever, innit?) to live out their own privileged lifestyles exactly as before..
