A squadron of 1,700 private jets are rumbling into Davos, Switzerland, this week to discuss global warming and other issues as the annual World Economic Forum gets underway.
The influx of private jets is so great, the Swiss Armed Forces has been forced to open up a military air base for the first time ever to absorb all the super rich flying their private jets into the event, reports Newsweek.
Decision-makers meeting in Davos must focus on ways to reduce climate risk while building more efficient, cleaner, and lower-carbon economies, former Mexican president Felipe Calderon told USA Today.
Davos, which has become a playground of sorts for the global elite, is expected to feature at least 40 heads of state and 2,500 top business executives. Former Vice President-turned-carbon billionaire Al Gore and rapper Pharrell Williams will be there as well; each plans to discuss global warming and recycling respectively.
Another big theme of the mega-rich confab will be combating income inequality and how the worlds rich can pay their fair share to reduce the gap between top earners and the lower class. Admission price for Davos: roughly $40,000 a ticket.

Get a load of this....says it all!
The panel Benioff is joining is called ..In Tech We Trust
Mega rich people telling us to pay more and to sacrifice.
Its obscene.
The theme of this years conference:
The New Global Context
RIng any bells.
It has no relevance for most of us. I will never travel to Davos.
But the world’s well heeled think I don’t pay enough for gas, electricity and water.
All to supposedly combat non-existent climate change.
Where is Occupy Wall Street?
Sounds like a place Al-Qaeda or ISIS would want to be.
They’re rich liberals.
But they get a pass because they’re compassionate, concerned and caring.
Its a laugh to hear them discuss income inequality while they’re stuffing themselves full of gourmet food and Dom Perignon.
Davos.....a good location for an above ground nuclear test.
did he sing him a James Taylor song?
It certainly does have relevance for us.......it’s our money that will be fast tracked back into their pockets....do you really think they’re meeting because THEY believe in Climate Warming? Heck no....they know it’s a farce....but it’s how they’ll be lining their pockets with our money.
Dittos to that! I have to pinch myself each day when I wake up and look outside! Stunning views! Bring on more snow baby!!!
Some idea what is happening in Switzerland.
Landings and departures from San Diego airport.

Good thing the globe is warming or those guys might be cold
Gee, all those hucksters gathered tightly together in one place ... Hmm - perhaps not too smart of them ... Seems I recall an old saying about “one hand grenade ...”
