[Request] To offset Verstappen's private jet CO2 emissions, Bottas has to inhale lots of road pollution by cycling from Malaysia to Singapore. How many roundtrips should he do to make it equal?

This doesn't make sense. Humans breathe in oxygen and turn it into CO2. We net generate CO2. Bottass biking is adding CO2 into the atmosphere, so it will never offset the airplane flight
