re: #735 avanti

It’s about image - and image does trump the message. These guys are meeting in an exotic locale for no reason other than they could. They just as easily could have met in NYC or Geneva, but chose not to. What kind of message does that send to people who hear incessantly about trying to reduce their own personal carbon footprint when these individuals (representing their countries) are all jetting over to Bali for this conference? The wrong message - it shows that there is a lack of responsibility (or that the responsibility lies with someone other than the deciders who attend these meetings).
