If your speech will result in reduced emissions somewhere, can that be used as justification?

The planes are going to fly anyway, they are already scheduled, so it's not as if you flying will add to emissions

EDIT: And let's face it, look at how much emissions could be saved if there were no air traffic control delays with flights in holding patterns for many minutes prior to landing, or planes spending ages in a queue taxi-ing prior to departure. It can't be too difficult to write software that would sort out planes only starting their engines when they could more-or-less proceed without stopping to their allocated take-off slot
