Update (1620ET): Hypocrisy and hot air over Glasgow Airport as the 2021 UN Climate Change Conference, also known as COP26, attracts 400 private jets carrying world leaders and business executives from around the world. We want readers to visualize these political and financial elites flying in on their jet fuel-guzzling private planes as they urge the rest of us for the next week to eat less meat, drive less, and fly less.

It seems the world's elite just can't stop ruining childhoods.
According to the Daily Mail, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos 'has led a 400-strong parade of private jets into COP25,' which includes Prince Albert of Monaco, tons of other royals, and dozens of "green" CEOs - creating a giant traffic jam which required empty planes to fly 30 miles away to 'nearby' Prestwick to find parking.

On Sunday, MailOnline observed at least 52 private jets landing at Glasgow - while estimates put the total number flying in for the conference at 400. Conservative predictions suggest the fleet of private jets arriving for COP26 will blast out 13,000tonnes of carbon dioxide in total - equivalent to the amount consumed by more than 1,600 Britons in a year.

Yes, the same Prince Charles hypocritically calling for a "vast military-style campaign" with trillions at it's disposal in order to force "fundamental economic transition" when it comes to the environment.

And, the excuse:
"His Royal Highness has personally campaigned for a shift towards Sustainable Aviation Fuel and would only undertake travel to Rome when it was agreed that sustainable fuel would be used in the plane," said a Clarence House spokesman, who added that so-called sustainable fuel would be used "wherever possible... from now on."
Boris Johnson flew in from Rome on an Airbus A321 - only to be stuck circling Glasgow for 20 minutes due to the sheer number of private jets arriving for the event. Johnson was stuck behind the president of South Korea - who also flew in from Rome following the G20 conference.

Meanwhile, as Johnson took the stage, Swedish activist Greta Thunberg took to Twitter - retweeting an appeal for her followers to sign an open letter accusing world leaders of betrayal.
“Betrayal.
That's how young people around the world are describing our governments' failure to cut carbon emissions. And it's no surprise.”

For those without private jets, hundreds of less fortunate COP25 delegates were unable to reach the event due to brutal storms which crippled railroads and forced people to sleep on the floor of London's Euston station.
Bezos' appearance comes on the heels of celebrating Bill Gates' 66th birthday on a nearly $3 million per week superyacht off the coast of Turkey - reaching the boat by helicopter.
The Amazon founder met with Prince Charles to discuss climate change, tweeting "The Prince of Wales has been involved in fighting climate change and protecting our beautiful world far longer than most. We had a chance to discuss these important issues on the eve of #COP26 — looking for solutions to heal our world, and how the @BezosEarthFund can help"
Meanwhile, President Joe Biden is expected to create 2.2 million pounds of carbon to reach the summit - as he's bringing four planes, the Marine One helicopter, and an enormous motorcade.

Don't these people have Skype?

You WILL pay the carbon tax.
You WILL get your monthly booster shots.
You. Will. Eat. The. Bugs.
What a bunch of self-important narcissists. And we are the peons in their eyes. Disgusting.
I think there was a climate conference in the south of France some years back with a lot of celebrities attending. Same scenario, bunches of private jets, many of which had to land at remote airports due to lack of space at the main airport. The celebrities were complaining about a shortage of limos also. Well, life is hard for climate activists and politicians.
Hypocrites.
Still an ugly little troll.
You will eat yout Soylent Green. Thy say the Soylent Green from aborted babies tastes best.
The Blue Origin founder is said to have made the 120-mile round trip journey by chopper from Govoka to the resort town of Fethiye.
The jet fuel used to power helicopters emits 21.095 pounds of carbon dioxide per gallon burned.
Since helicopters use up approximately 10.75 miles per gallon, Bezos’ helicopter emitted some 215 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Both Bezos and Gates are reportedly staying on superyachts – each of which emits 7,020 tons of carbon dioxide per year, or 19 tons per day.
Poor girl, she must be a slow learner when it comes to life’s realities especially when dealing with a bunch of hypocrites.
The Bangladesh delegation was 100 people on a chartered Boeing 787.
Those attending from Namimbia in southwest Africa flew to Glasgow on a Falcon private jet.

There is a female-appearing person in black to the right of Bezos in picture with Prince Charles. Is this a hired person? Handler? Personal S&M advisor?
So many questions.
Greta...Greta....Greta...when will it dawn on you that you are a ............. for the left.
They all know the “climate crisis” is make-believe.
If any of them really believed it, they would protest and insist on a conference call instead.
Environmentalism is basically the religion of the world at the moment. Of course we know it’s really a disguised variant of communism.
political and corporate hypocrites spit in our faces now with out a thought and on a regular basis. Out in the open for all to see yet there are many who are so well indoctrinated they will never see
