That's off by several orders of magnitude! The number I found from Nature is an estimated average of 3.6 tons of CO~2~ emitted per private jet flight in 2023. By contrast, a person in the United States averages about 16 tons per year. That's still nuts to think that one private jet flight has roughly the same CO~2~ output as about three months of living for the average person, but I for one, have a lifetime that's a bit longer than 3 months.
