Time to get out your AGW hypocrisy meters. AGW, of course, stands for anthropogenic (human-caused) global warming. And the hypocrisy meters are about to ring off the charts, as the AGW alarmists descend in droves on Paris for COP 21 (21st Conference Of Parties), the United Nations’ much-ballyhooed climate summit, set to take place November 30-December 11.
It happens every time: the millionaires, billionaires, and “public servants” — Prince Charles, Al Gore, Ted Turner, Richard Branson, Hollywood celebs, presidents, prime ministers, etc. — swoosh into the confab in their tax-payer provided jets, or their own private Learjets and Gulfstreams, to preach to the rest of us on why we must reduce our “carbon footprints” and submit to a UN-mandated “carbon budget.”
While at the global gathering, these elites will occupy the luxury suites of the most expensive hotels, dine at the swankest 5-star eateries, and entertain themselves at the trendiest watering holes. Appropriately, the UN summit will be held at the Paris-Le Bourget Airport and conference site , which boasts the largest number of private jet terminals of any airport in the world.
The UN’s COP21 webpage says: “In order to give the best possible welcome to the 40,000 people expected, France has chosen the Paris-Le Bourget site for its hosting capacity (18 hectares) and its accessibility.”

If global warming was real, Algore would be flying commercial.
Wouldn’t it be terrible if a terrorist attack took out the whole lot in one fell swoop? The pain and anguish would be almost insurmountable for almost an entire minute!
Well, at least they won’t actually have to SEE one of those grotesque peasants! /sarcasm;)
Peasant carbon emissions are dirty and smelly.
Elite carbon emissions are wafted on high and cleansed by the hands of angels.
>>Well, at least they won’t actually have to SEE one of those grotesque peasants! /sarcasm;)<<
“The peasants are revolting!”
“You betcherass — they stink on ice!”
How many of these people just go to these conferences to live it up, to party with someone else’s money??
What is the collective carbon footprint of this conference??
Does every attendee pledge to buy their carbon credits! So they have the permission of Al Gore to produce their carbon???
Nope. If he really believed, he would take a sail boat across the Atlantic, and then a train to paris.
But then again, he’s in it for the money, just like the rest of the socialists.
Are you kidding? All of them.
Those 40,000 people could instead use a web camera and stay home and save the planet.
You have been pinged because of your interest in environmentalism, alarmist wackos, mainstream media doomsday hype, and other issues pertaining to global warming.

If they were REALLY serious, they would bicycle to a local video conferencing system and have their hoe-down that way. But that is no fun in that, and there are no good photo ops. Hypocrites all.
Yes I agree. These enviro activists will party, stay in swank hotels, eat gourmet meals, paid for by someone else because they are on expense accounts. And those with the Bill Clinton problem will have the expense of a girl for the night.
These people are all in the evil 1% the liberals bitch about. Why don’t they bitch about the carbon footprint of these ongoing climate conferences?????
