Guys, they swear it’s not hypocrisy. It’s raising awareness or something like that. Meanwhile, Obama’s travel there emits more CO2 than 22 people combined over an entire year…
Via CNS News:
The UN Climate Summit 2014 is a glaring example of hypocrisy. Just the speakers alone, not the attendees or notable guests for the summit, traveled a grand total of 1,036,537 miles from locations as distant as China, India and Peru. That’s enough miles to circle the equator 41.6 times.
According to the UN itself, in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, “more than 95 percent of our total carbon footprint resulted from air travel.”
This isn’t the first time that climate alarmists have demonstrated their hypocrisy with a “do what we say, not what we do” message.
Al Gore has been criticized for flying to events in a private plane. Naomi Klein, a registered participant of the event (though not one of the speakers), is very critical of air travelers, even though she flies frequently. The Guardian reported on Sept. 14, that Klein actually flies “a lot more than most people, and is set to rack up enough air miles to make her, by her own admission, a ‘climate criminal.’
