The World Economic Forum said on Monday, one day before the event kicks off in Davos, Switzerland, that: "The climate crisis is going to be one of the dominant themes this week."

**SNIP**

But as the world's financial elite, political leaders, and celebrities descend on the small town, the question is whether their transport choices can at all work with what the event - and many of those leaders - say they want to achieve for the planet.

The World Economic Forum recorded more than 600 plane journeys that can be attributed to Davos in 2019 - a figure that does not "take into account public figures such as presidents and prime ministers."

"There were around 60 of these but they tend to use military planes and land at a nearby military base, which makes it impossible to get flight numbers," Davos said.

Aviation is expected to contribute to 22% of the world's carbon emissions by 2050 .

Get in, get it and get out. What I've never been able to find is a Davos menu. Everyone there is chowing on Chick-fil-A? Dominoes delivery? What?

Just imagine how many more seconds, minutes, hours, even days we could all have left with our loved ones if these self important CARBONBAGS would stop flying all over the world to spew more CARBON!

They are murdering us all with their very existence!

Keep wishing Trump could do something fun, like tweeting a pic of the airport with all the private jets parked on the ram and identified by country. Anything to show the hypocrisy.

I’m curious. Do vice purveyors, such as prostitutes, follow the rich crowd and work the Davis get together? Just wondering, no way to tell. My jet is down for repairs.

I’m a happy - 67 - last of the bloodline- single - and sterile, so all of this chicken little about the Earth’s witnessed ever changing and cyclical weather, means nothing to me!
Happy dreams with sharp teeth!
