More than 1,000 private jet flights have been delivering globalist elites to the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, where attendees are discussing among other topics the major threat of climate change.
Airports around the Swiss ski resort will see the number of private jets spike 335 per cent during the annual meeting of world elites, according to Air Charter Service (ACS).
Research commissioned by the jet hire company found an average 218 private jet movements a day during the weeklong forum, compared to the 65 daily flights Swiss airfields usually deal with.

As usual. Disregard those private jets. They are just a means to an end. The end of peons. maybe. Link is from a wnd via a brietbart site with all the ads you can stand. I'll post the link for brietbart in a sec.

Sigh. We really need a modern day Ragnar Danneskjöld to handle this type of thing....

After you have so much money you must try to think of frivolous things to spend it on. It becomes difficult to waste enough money to keep it from simply piling up.
On a smaller scale, you may like steak but you can only eat so much. You may like nice cars but you can only drive one at a time.

That represents about a million tons of carbon sequestration as payment for the extravagance. *gag*

If you go back around eight years ago...that dramatic environmental meeting on some island...they basically gave you a slot where you could land...off-load your passengers and cargo, and then take-off (usually limited to 45 minutes). You then had a list of five islands nearby which had airports and ramp space to park. I think in that case...between 500 and 700 private planes were involved.
It’s just some extra large circus operation waiting for someone to film the whole thing and make it into some comical movie.
To: alstewartfan
Silly you. Certainly they have purchased carbon credits from algore to offset any emissions. Whatever emissions the emit.

And can’t be delayed by plebeian transport systems, not even flying first class. It’s a well known fact that good people have actually broken a nail in first class. Better safe than sorry. Take your own private jet for sure.

Same thing at Davos. Not enough parking space except for certain ‘eliter’ attendees. ;-)

The possession of extreme compulsive wealth beyond the assurance of survival and comfort for self and family is a mental disorder. This is where capital descends into rank monopolism which quickly becomes State Capitalism and soon after becomes fascism which is a heartbeat away from social Darwinist war lord feudalism.
Eat the Rich.

Facsism? Like conservatives? LOL!
