Global politicians, United Nations personnel, globe trotting environmentalists, activists, journalists and all their hangers on who went to Mexico to discuss again Co2 emissions and the effects of the ‘so called' global warming phenomena.
The fact that last year, their gathering in Copenhagen brought no results other than a lot of ‘hot air' does not deter the protagonists of the new global multi billion dollar industry.
They gather in their thousands with their attendant huge entourages paid for by the uncomplaining public purse. They fly in, take cabs to hotels and cabs to the conference centre and eat and drink tons of consumables. They attempt to make policies that will have yet more money extracted from hardworking industries and private persons around the world by way of carbon emission trading schemes. The greenies will be there protesting and looking for a free lunch whilst the majority of them will be receiving some type of taxpayer funded benefit. Then they all have a little holiday (because we're there of course) and then they all fly home again.
The fact that they have created monstrous amounts of emissions getting to, and returning from the place of conference means nothing to them.
In this day of modern technology and high tech communication systems why don't they all stay home and ‘practice what they preach' and organize to hold a 48 hour conference call complete with skype? Sounds a bit easy do you think?
