Why whatever do you mean?

Double Standards, Hypocrisy, and Hey! A Trip to Bonn!
How about a carbon-offset tax on your next plane ticket?

And is there anything quite like having 2,400 delegates from 162 Nations all jetting in to Bonn, Germany for a summit on--you guessed it--Climate Change?

I can understand it is possibly more interesting/productive/eventful having everyone gathering in person, attending all those parties with all that food (yes, there's a bit of a food crisis going on about the world isn't there?), but has anybody heard of videoconferencing? There's this series of tubes called the Internets that allows for such things ...

A majority of the countries represented could attend virtually without any real loss in value, no?
