According to a calculation by Wired, about 50,000 people are expected to travel to the summit producing as much as 300,000 tons of carbon.
President Obama is also expected to contribute a substantial portion of carbon to the world’s atmosphere by traveling to Paris. According to calculations by the Daily Caller News Foundation, Obama’s flight to Paris likely emitted roughly 189 tons of carbon alone.

To cheap to get a group skype subscription and hold the conference via the internet?
This POSPOTUS contributes garbage to the atmosphere by breathing...it gets worse when he speaks!
If the leaders emit that much CO2 just by going to this silly metting, just imagine how much CO2 is emitted by you going on vacation. Or going to see your family for the holidays. Put it in that perspective, and you'll start to see how much CO2 we are emitting, and you'll realize that it can't be good.
Oh, but they don't count. Its only us peasants that are causing the problems.
Also don't forget the tons of Bull Sh....that was emitted
Limousine liberals!
Anyone who gets annoyed by something like this is an irrational person who doesn't understand math and what 'orders of magnitude' means. There are over 7 billion people, and our collective impacts are FAR more significant than that of a couple hundred. Even if you remain ignorant on climate change and the like, you have to be a pretty dim person to try and join this argument.
I mean jeez this isn't even low-hanging fruit; its like listening to a argumentative crying baby.
Pretty is that Pretty does.
5:35 I understand math and understand orders of magnitude very well. I think you dont understand the point. The point of the article is that you liberals are hypocrites. Its a perfect example of a do as i say, not as i do mentality. Gore, Obama, Kennedy and their ilk jet around the wrold spewing several orders of magnitude more carbon than the average citizen day after day and tell us that we are bad because we want our home comfortable or we want to drive places. How dare us.
