If you were really serious about saving the environment, you wouldn’t be flying 10,000 (!!!)
delegates halfway around the world.

The world won’t take you seriously when you do stupid crap like that.

Ever hear about video conferencing?

I’m coming as an observer on behalf of the Sierra Club, and staying for two weeks after the conference (I have to spend some time writing up my conference notes you know It’s been very interesting reading all the notes here on Baliblog as well as other web sites. The irony about climate change is not only sea rise but that some of the concrete in the very hotels we will be staying at comes from coral offshore, which when removed leads to beach erosion. I understand some efforts are being made to restore the reefs now up at the north end of Sanur where I’m staying for the conference. After that I’m bailing out and going up to the Ubud area of course.

With all due respect and as wonderful as Bali is, I think the UNFCCC is going to have more important things than the beaches and culture and all. Everytime I read their reports I feel like crawling in a hole. Maybe they could instead visit Kuta to highlight, “in [10, 25, 50] years, this beach will no longer exist”. Maybe that will wake people up.
