When the First Green President travels to India, will his fleet of aircraft block enough sunshine to cool the planet?

Taj trip included in Barack Obama's itinerary: Obama Visit : India Today
His visit is historic in terms of logistics which is the largest ever for a visiting US president.

The presidential entourage will have 40 aircraft, including the Air Force One that will ferry the president. There will be six armoured cars, including four Barack Mobiles and a Cadillac.

Couldn't the first green president use a Skype videoconference on a solar powered laptop to talk with the Indians? I know, a "virtual" trip is not quite as amusing and fascinating as travel, but isn't that what transportation secretary LaHood recommended, that we all "live locally" and do away with energy-guzzling cars?
