Roughly 1,700 private planes will head to Davos, Switzerland for the 2015 World Economic Forum. That doesn’t include commercial air travel or any other method of transit to the conference. Ironically, the top article featured on the “Agenda” section of the World Economic Forum website on Jan. 19, boldly stated that “[d]ecarbonising the global economy in a matter of decades is the number one priority.”

According to Newsweek, former vice president Al Gore will be speaking at Davos “to stress the importance of tackling climate change.”

LOL! I'm sure that most of the pj's will be forced to leave after dropping their super important passengers due to lack of parking space and so nobody will be able to get a pic of this huge gaggle of hypocrisy on display. Not only are they burning fuel comin' in, now they'll go away until they have to come back to pick up their super important passengers for the flight home. No doubt with stops for some luxurious shopping along the way. And the IPOS don't have a clue. But, they are helping to save the world so they must be cut some slack.

The picture of hypocrisy.

They are going to decide how the rest of us peons will live.

I’m reminded of scenes from Soylent Green.

A person’s ‘energy footprint’ is highly correlated with how much money they spend a year.

No video feeds or environmentally friendly Skyping for these clowns I see. I guess they just don’t love those poor polar bears after all.

Living under climate change laws is going to be so much harder than the Flintstones had it.

At least they had dinosaurs.

Great. A gathering of mass murders. Maybe they can get Charles Manson sprung free for a cameo performance.
