An article on the carbon footprint of the Copenhagen climate summit: “1,200 limos, 140 private planes and caviar wedges”. My favorite quotes:
“We haven’t got enough limos in the country to fulfil the demand,” [a limo company manager] says. “We’re having to drive them in hundreds of miles from Germany and Sweden.”
The airport says it is expecting up to 140 extra private jets during the peak period alone, so far over its capacity that the planes will have to fly off to regional airports – or to Sweden – to park, returning to Copenhagen to pick up their VIP passengers.
See Phil, there is hope for the aviation business after all. Seems to be no end of these “folks” that have to be flown in private aircraft all over the planet, in order to save the planet. May I suggest the name of the new venture? How about Hypocrisy Airways?
