And what is the carbon footprint of this excursion?

What is the collective carbon footprint of these luxurious summit conferences to discuss global warming? And could that footprint be minimized?

Do they eat meat at these climate summits? Aren’t we supposed to do away with beef, overhaul farming and ranching, etc. as part of global warming ??

I haven’t heard if Greta Thunberg will arrive in time for the summit conference. Last I heard, she was hitching a ride on someone’s catamaran across the Atlantic from America, so as to minimize her carbon footprint.

How dare she indeed!!

Greta Thunberg is expected to be at this climate conference. I wonder if she will shame all the attendees who arrived via plane, or other carbon unfriendly means.

If they were sincere, the concert organizers would do this by Skype (or the equivalent), and everyone in the world who wanted to would be able to log on, watch, AND - ask questions.

If these people were actually worried about carbon and CO2 or even air pollution (which seems to be almost forgotten these days) they would hold video conferences.

concert = conference. Spellcheck..
However, it might as well be a concert. It's the rock stars of climate science and their adoring crowd of groupies.

taxpayer’s dime....

I read that one source claims her personal worth is now $126 million. Her job has been US Representative and Houe Speaker. Maybe she collects returnable beverage bottles and cans on the side. Or has “friends” who “return favors” in the millions of dollars.

Wonder if the President will “pull the airplane” out under their feet again and tell them to fly tourist class on a commercial? Would be great!

They will probably each charter there own A-380. They want to enlarge their own carbon footprint, but you are not allowed to enlarge yours. What a$$ hats 🎩

Oh, I'm sure they're all flying commercial coach and paying carbon offsets, right?

If not, then they can all just STFU about the climate.

"UN climate change convention" is the COVER NAME or CODE WORDS for the ACTUAL purpose of the gathering: DEEP STATE business to include PAYOFFS to DNC affiliates from China, George Soros, etc.. Large suitcases full of money to be distributed to AGENTS of the Deep State who've furthered the cause of UNDERMINING AMERICA.

You can bet that MOST of what these attendees will talk about IN PRIVATE has NOTHING TO DO with Climate Change!
