re: #720 lawhawk

I guess the locale trumps the message - UN meeting inn Bali again to discuss climate change. Ever heard of teleconferencing? Skype? Phone meetings? The NY offices of the UN? Geneva?

Bali? Again?

Thousands of diplomats and scientists will converge on Bali once again to discuss climate change - where the act of getting to Bali will impose serious ecological harm and emissions that would be mitigated or sharply reduced had they done so at the offices in Geneva or NY (or even more if teleconferencing).

Of course, none of those other options have the cachet of Bali, so we’re left with a bunch of diplomats preaching about climate change all while taking actions that make the situation worse. [facepalm]

and people wonder why these bozos get mocked and criticized…another 20 tons of carbon goes up for a cool trip to Bali
