⌛ Copenhagen junket

From GMA website today, the mind boggles:

COPENHAGEN – Even though she is listed as the head of the Philippine delegation, President Arroyo left the climate summit Friday morning without waiting for a binding deal to come out of the landmark conference.

Yesterday, Arroyo had said that “we cannot afford to leave Copenhagen without a deal, and a deal based on common but differentiated responsibilities."

Vicky Tauli-Corpuz, a long-time member of the Philippine delegation to the climate talks, said Mrs. Arroyo left on a chartered flight with her contingent of about 200 people after staying for two nights at a reported cost of $700 per room per night at the Hilton hotel near the airport.

Mrs. Arroyo addressed the climate summit Thursday afternoon, praising US Secretary Hillary Clinton for announcing support to a $100-billion fund that will help developing countries adapt to the negative impact of climate change.

 

I wonder what size her Carbon footprint will be, 200 people from Manila to Copenhagen.

 

And all of this to produse 2,5 A4 pages of nonsence.

 

They're bleeding the Filipino dry by spending our money like that.

 

Copenhagen = alot of politicians expelling alot of their own CO2!!
