Always fun to point out the duality and hypocrisy of these people and governments that claim moral superiority to us non believers in general and Trump in particular and they never cease to afford us "flat Earth heathens" a constant opportunity to do so. Never mind climate change, Davos prefers private jets "The Davos elite say they are more worried than ever about climate change. But that isn't stopping them chartering private jets in record numbers. The convenience and comfort of flying privately rather than commercially appears to outweigh any concerns about the outsized carbon footprint it involves, judging by a number-crunching exercise by the company Air Charter Service (ACS). It forecast nearly 1,500 private jet flights over the week of the World Economic Forum (WEF) to airports near Davos in the Swiss Alps. That would be up from the more than 1,300 aircraft movements seen at last year's forum, despite climate change registering as the top risk factor identified for the global economy in a survey of WEF movers and shakers last week. In a blog post, the website privatefly.com forecast an even higher number of private flight movements related to Davos this week, of around 2,000 in and out of local airports. And while most people reach Davos by car or train after alighting from airports such as Zurich, two to three hours' away, a select few CEOs and government leaders hire helicopters to save time. Demand for private jets in the week of Davos far outstrips other events that also loom large on the private aviation calendar, such as the Super Bowl or Champions' League final, according to Andy Christie, private jets director at ACS." https://www.france24.com/en/20190122-never-mind-climate-change-davos-prefers-private-jets
Apparently the left in here has given up on defending these constantly occuring examples of blatant hypocrisy and illumination of the real attitude and beliefs these people have about AGW. That's really a pretty good sign. We may be making progress.
You are jumping to an illogical conclusion that all the worlds business leaders are somehow liberals??I would venture a guess that most are not.As far as climate change goes climate scientists are now saying that Greenland's ice sheet which was 10,000 feet thick in many areas is melting FOUR TIMES FASTER than the projections made a few years ago.As a consequence of the pressure relief on Greenland the land mass is rising at a rate of half an inch per year. Were the ice sheet on Greenland to melt completely they project sea levels would rise by 23 feet.The ice sheet of Greeland covers 1,700,000 Sq. kilometers.
I dunno, they seem kinda touchy about it. "WEF organisers insist they are making the annual forum environmentally sustainable, offsetting the carbon emissions generated by private aviation as much as possible through their own initiatives on the ground." And I assume all these countries signed the Paris accord since I always hear America is the only one that didn't. "Most of the private aircraft that come in are actually for government officials"
lol, where do you get this stuff from? If all the ice on the planet melted the sea level would only rise by around 6 ft. It gets worse every time you guys tell it.
What's all the fuss, you don't expect all the VIPs in one plane, do you? You never put all eggs in one basket. Remember what happened to the Polish delegation of President Kaczynski? Let me remind that for you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Polish_Air_Force_Tu-154_crash
