Report: World Leaders Producing 300,000 Tons of Carbon By Traveling To Climate Summit In Paris
Hundreds of world leaders, government officials, and their entourages are in Paris this week for the Cop 21 climate summit in Paris, collectively striking a huge blow against the goals of the meeting.
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.
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.
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.
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.
To cheap to get a group skype subscription and hold the conference via the internet?
