To kill a senior states-person will certainly lead to war which is itself highly un-environmentally friendly. The carbon credits in this case are the expected value of any averted war. A single F-35 burns something like 1,500 gallons/hour.

Taking the car is a small price, economically and environmentally, to avoid the potential of war.

I think you'd be shocked just how many highly influential senior statesmen and business people can be killed before anyone gets even close to a war.
War usually leads to recession which usually leads to reduced carbon.
