Someone who's well off enough to send multiple children through college with just a little suffering. What exactly do you have against him? Besides him there's pilots, ATC people and even the kid who lays out the red mat in front of the airplane's door on the weekends and after school. All those people's jobs are put at risk every time one of you spouts off on the gigantic carbon footprint associated with private jets.

The emissions from 1 of the private jets is more than the emissions of an average family for a year.
People don't want to be lectured/hectored about (alleged) GW by (elite) hypocrites who create more CO2 in a year than a whole village or 'ordinary people'.
That's why they make such easy targets. Personally I don't care how much they fly and how much energy they consume just don't lecture me.
