Starship contains a total of 3,400 + 1,200 = 4,600 tons of propellant [1]. The propellant being methane and oxygen.
So, someone can do the math to work out how much CO2 is generated by burning that much of that mix. In any case, that is very small compared to the overall emissions of human society.
That being said, methane can be produced a number of ways, for instance digestion of food waste. Therefore, they could source methane in a way that would allow to claim (quite reasonably) that they are carbon-neutral.
