The tour is the Queen's first carbon-offset state visit, where a donation is made to an environmental charity to offset the plane journeys made by the royal party.
This won't reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere by an atom, but at least abeyance has been made to Gaia and the coffers of her temple have been enriched, and that is all that counts.

Flash-forward 2017:
ECOPOPE VOWS WORLDWIDE REVOLUTION
Recently elected leader of the Holy-but-Secular Gaian Church, the Ecopope Algore I, announced the "Serial dawning of a new age of Greendom" as he spoke from pulpit/compost heap Monday.
"There will be a complete overhaul to the governments of various nations, including compulsory swearing of all national leaders upon the Tome of Druids (formerly the Kyoto Protocol)."
The Ecopope was selected in a landslide by the College of Parrots, and announced to the world when white steam from the Holy Hummus-n-lentil medley puffed out from the Totem of Knowledge...and quickly captured by a bell jar to offset CO2 emissions.
Algore I intends to use the first 24 hours to properly canonize the blessed saints of the Gaian Church. Among the nominees are John Muir, Jane Goodall and Captain Planet.
