Couldn’t one buy carbon credits to offset the emissions? Or pay extra to fill up the plane with a carbon-neutral biofuel?

Offsetting does not make it moral, unless you can justify that you really, really had to fly : you could offset and not fly, the two are not linked.

If I pour coffee on purpose on your living room mat, does cleaning your windows make it ok ?

Diesel powered jets. Instant classic :D

Who said anything about diesel? Airlines can already purchase biofuel-derived Jet A.

Distribution is still limited, but it is available at a few major airports. For instance, I just took a flight on SAS. They have an option to pay extra to use biofuel for one’s share of the flight.
