The “carbon footprint” from last year’s shindig in wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen here, here and here.
And so it continues in Cancun, Mexico 2010 … The same people prove they must spend money in order to take our money and control every aspect of our lives …
[…] The meeting’s carbon footprint was 25,000 metric tons of emissions, according to host nation Mexico. That includes the carbon output of everything – flights by delegates, shuttle rides from the swanky Moon Palace hotel, even food preparation. Here’s a breakdown of the numbers:
25 heads of state attended.
2,457 air-conditioned rooms with double Jacuzzis at the main conference hotel.
$68 million
paid by the Mexican government to host the conference. The Danish government put up $213 million last year.
350
days of the year that had unsafe air quality in Mexico City in the early 1990s. Now it’s unsafe less than half that time.
7 million
the amount in metric tons that Mexico City’s ambitious “Plan Verde” aims to reduce from vehicle emissions by 2012.
Gives, “Do as I say, not as I do” a whole new meaning. How about they address ClimateGate at one of these porkfests, eh?
I simply just can’t wait for next year’s.
