The $200 million ‘Climate Change’ party
The planet’s rich and famous took time out of the busy schedules to meet in Sicily to ‘talk’ about climate change and see how they can save the planet. We should all feel a great deal of gratitude that these very important people took the time to meet and ‘talk’ about how we all should behave in order to save the planet.
While they were ‘talking’ about the serious climate change situation, it appears they are not quite ready to actually ‘practice’ what they preach. According the BBC correspondent Andrew Neil, ‘They came in 114 private jets and a flotilla of super yachts. The conference is on global warming.’
Hmm…that does seem a bit out of touch doesn’t it?
According to Page Six the cost of this Google Summit is estimated to be $20 million. The total dollar cost shouldn’t concern us, it is their money after all, but what about the cost to the environment? Page Six says ‘The combined carbon footprint of dozens of flights from Google’s Los Angeles base to the Verdura resort would come to around 780 tonnes of C02, although it is not clear where all the guests traveled from.’
Among those attending Camp Hypocrite? According to the Toronto Sun the list includes: Former US president Barack Obama, Prince Harry, Leonardo DiCaprio, Katy Perry, Harry Styles, Orlando Bloom, Diane von Furstenberg, Barry Diller and scores more of the great and good people.
Von Furstenberg and Diller arrived on the media mogul’s $20- million yacht Eos, featuring two 2,300-horsepower diesel engines. Perry and Bloom arrived on Dreamworks founder David Geffen’s $400-million yacht, the ‘Rising Sun’.
“Everything is about global warming, that is the major topic this year,” a source told the New York Post.
Apparently, Prince Harry flew in on a private jet and gave an impassioned barefoot speech about the need to save the planet. Omm…can’t you just feel the planet healing already?
This reminds us of the Davos Summit and the Paris Climate Accord meetings. It seems that the solution is for the rest of us to ride bicycles, while these elite climate leaders travel the world in private jets and massive yachts, solving all our climate problems.
