This is like all those people taking private jets to climate summits. It's just absurd.

MODERATORS
Don't give them ideas. They might cut more trees for a new airport.
A lot more politicians get assassinated in Brazil than the United States, right? I strongly feel that there’s hope here.
That sounds about right for a modern COP summit. The last two were in Azerbaijan and the UAE and probably had more oil industry lobbyists attend than politicians and diplomats.
They might as well not even have them while countries are still digging carbon out of the ground and burning it. That’s the only thing that matters. It doesn’t matter how much renewable energy and nuclear capacity we add if we just piss it away on data centers (or whatever) instead of decommissioning CO~2~ emitting power plants.
Obligatory, #NotTheOnion
