Global Elites Take Private Jets, Yachts to Climate Summit
Breitbart ^ | 31 Jul 2019 | SIMON KENT

The great and the good from the worlds of business, finance, politics, entertainment, and European royalty have descended on the Sicilian seaside for a billionaire’s-only party dubbed Google Summer Camp.

Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin have invited a who’s who of A-list names — including former President Barack Obama, Prince Harry, Leonardo DiCaprio and Katy Perry (to name a few) – to their annual deluxe climate chat, according to the New York Post, each and every one charged with the responsibility of helping the rest of humanity find ways of fighting climate change.

Traditionally held every year at the end of July, the famed Verdura Resort hosts the top-secret gathering, with the three-day summer camp costing the tech giant some $20 million, sources told the Post

Many of the guests, including Obama and DiCaprio — who has his own climate change foundation — have described global warming as the biggest threat to future generations.

Bloomberg reports numerous yachts are currently moored off the beach at Verdura Resort having discharged their passengers; German pharmaceutical titan Udo J. Vetter’s sailing yacht Aquarius, Barry Diller and Diane Von Furstenberg’s sailing yacht EOS, Graeme Hart’s yacht Ulysses with others en route including David Geffen’s yacht Rising Sun, Google’s Eric Schmidt’s yacht Infinity and its support vessel Intrepid, among them.

According to Italian press reports, the attendees were also expected to show up in 114 private jets, of which 40 had arrived by Sunday.

The Post found that 114 flights from Los Angeles to Palermo, Italy, where guests landed, would spew an estimated 100,000 kilograms of CO2 into the air.

Flying to and from climate change talks is nothing new to the global elites.

A couple of years ago, they held some big climate conference out in the Pacific on some resort island. Hotel space was not a problem with the 5,000-odd people showing up. Ramp space for private jets was a problem.

So at some point, they just said as you land...you have an hour to unload your VIP guests and then take off. You then had a choice of three other islands within 30 minutes...to land and actually park your jet. All total, there must have been over 200 jets that had to be parked at alternate islands.

Because it’s always OK when the Left does it.

I am assuming AOC will be holding a press conference today, condemning this outrageous attack on the environment.

They exempted themselves from Obamacare and insider trading.. yet not a single republican has ever called them out, diring a debate. At least not that I can remember.

“for a billionaire’s-only party”

I had no idea Katy Perry was/is a billionaire. Same for Zerobama. Maybe he tapped into Illary’s $6 billion from the State Department.

My favorite showbiz yacht is Leonardo DiCaprio’s “Topaz”. IIRC it’s something like 400 feet long.
