This is why people hate the UN, its bureaucratic functionaries, and the swarms of NGO camp followers that attend international “problem solving” conferences: In a follow up to the Copenhagen debacle, GWHs may have flown from all over the world to Cancun, Mexico, to fight AGW—spewing carbon all the way. But the prospective death of the planet doesn’t mean they couldn’t partay!
I remember a story years ago about a UN conference in South Africa about fighting hunger—which started with a sumptuous feast of lobster, steak, and every other conceivable food delicacy—only a few miles from impoverished shanty towns where people really did go to bed hungry. I just wish SHS had been up and running at the time.
