Plant Trees: Don’t Conference

Climate conference is over. Other than spending a lot of money and expending CO2 I don't see what was gained. Money would have been better spent on planting trees!

We have just witnessed the gathering of 151 leaders from 151 countries fly 151 planes to the Conference on Climate Change in Paris. Actually, I’m not sure that is correct as I just heard that 190 leaders attended. Whatever the number, they did not come alone. Canada had one of the largest teams with more than 380 politicians, government staff and bureaucrats in attendance; double the U.S. team, and about triple the number from the U.K. Catherine McKenna, the Federal Minister of environment and climate change, referring to Stephen Harper’s record on climate change said “We have such a broad delegation, and that’s a big change from the past. Before, sometimes we actually didn’t even show up. But our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made it clear “Canada is back, my good friends.” Back at what?

Just look at the expenses incurred by Canada for this Climate Change Conference-made up of people who are passionate about the environment. Leaving out the carbon footprint from the flights and the fact that Ontario’s Premier flew back and forth twice; the transportation to and from the airports, the carbon emitted in the production of the food and the delivery to the conference-I am assuming that they didn’t just ”eat local;” let’s look at the money.

It all makes sense if you look at the big picture. The west is broke. Dead broke. All thanks to failed progressive policies. The east is not broke. It is an emerging future power house that has discarded progressive policies. So how do you stop a power house from emerging, when you yourself are broke. You try to convince them to stop emerging and slowdown their growth. Viola. Climate change to the rescue. And if that fails, a world war is choice number 2 for the failed, broke crooks running the west. So in that respect, having big conferences that create tons of CO2 makes perfect sense.

All them tree huggers could do the world a much bigger favor IF instead of going to Paris, if they would just walk around the block, and pick up all the trash they see.
