Behold the international ruling class. Were an asteroid to take out all 15,000 of these "delegates" the world would be a much better place. Which among them has anything actually to offer, any contribution, any single thing to solve any problem at all, even the entirely fictitious one around which this farce is constructed? This is not an organization built around the offering of anything. It is constructed solely around demands.

These are people whose clothing, transportation, living accommodations, diet, remuneration, and recreation are at a level unattainably lofty compared to the vast majority of the people whose sacrifice they are demanding; unimaginable to the vast majority of developing peoples whose interests they purport to represent. These are people residing at five-star hotels who frown on those living in modest private homes for consuming too much. These are people flying in private jets who are making demands of people owning automobiles on behalf of those who are on foot. They are glib, arrogant, unworthy and in any enlightened society would be relegated to beggary from their betters, because that is exactly what they are really about and no more.

You know up front that any "conference" that has 15,000 participants, all of whom are there on other peoples' money, you have a scam and a boondoggle. These people are just vacationing on company time, they don't care about solving any problems other than how to unlock the door to the US treasury.

After all, if there are "crooshal" issues left un-resolved, they will just "have to" meet again next year at some other resort locale. Poor babies.
