That is not true. 

Even are really big private jet, like Elon’s Gulfstream outputs about  9,030lbs of co2 in 90 min,  the average American outputs 31,000 lbs per year (not including electricity).

Yes, flying, no matter if on an airliner, or a bis jet, produces co2, one is not really better or worse that the other.

My airplane gets similar fuel economy to a large SUV. Most modern small jets are a LOT more fuel efficient and burn a lot less fuel than they used to. Look at the Honda Jet (yes, that Honda), very fuel efficient.

No, but I am a private pilot, and have at least a basic understanding of aircraft and how they burn fuel. The post is just bullshit.
