World Leaders Produce 300,000 Tons Of Carbon Traveling To Climate Hoax Summit

According to a calculation by Wired about 50,000 people are expected to travel to the summit producing as much as 300,000 tons of carbon. President Obama is also expected to contribute a substantial portion of carbon to the world’s atmosphere by traveling to Paris. According to calculations by the Daily Caller News Foundation Obama’s flight to Paris likely emitted roughly 189 tons of carbon alone.
During his speech at the Paris climate change summit, Obama blamed America for contributing to the problem of climate change and vowed to do more to prevent it. Yet Obama is clueless as to his "Carbon Foot Print" !

Why is Leftist Elitist see that their burning of fossil fuel is okay but they must blame the masses for Climate Change ?

I've always wondered what the American political Right seems to have against science.

I've always wondered why all the predicted catastrophes stemming from the dreaded CC, have not happened.

The ice caps are not receding, the polar bear population is growing, sea levels have not risen anything near what was predicted. We just finished a very calm hurricane season. What's wrong with this science thing?

That statement isn't true. You actually wonder why some predictions that were made have not come true, and those predictions tended to be the ones that were loudest and most likely to get attention from the media.

The ice caps are not recedin

As of all of 3 years ago. That's really not doing much to discredit the prediction that as things get hotter, ice will melt. It's just demonstrating that it won't be as fast as a few people predicted it would be.

the polar bear population is growing

A claim that requires one to trust entirely undocumented and unverified claims about the polar bear population from the 1960's. Now some populations are verified as growing, which is being directly attributed to the restrictions on hunting and environmental damage caused in certain parts of Canada.

sea levels have not risen anything near what was predicted.

Again, by some. Pointing to the most vocal claims to try to undermine the claims of the entirety scientific community is just silly. It's like pointing to certain crackpots who would go on and on about how the government wants to take everyone's guns so that they can put us all in FEMA camps, and pretending that because that happened there therefore isn't any risk of future gun control provisions being proposed.

We just finished a very calm hurricane season. What's wrong with is science thing?

What's wrong is that they can't get people to listen to what they are actually saying, so people (such as yourself) hear an incredibly limited snippet of what some vocal people say that gets repeated on the news because it gets ratings instead of hearing what the legitimate predictions actually are.

Why is it your politicians can burn fossil fuel yet tell the masses about how bad it is ? Is okay for the Leftist Elitist to burn fossil fuel and why is that ?

Are you ever going to realize that I'm done trying to give you legitimate responses? You put an end to those efforts a while ago.

This guy's got a point. With technology these days, they could have easily had a video conference that would have been just as effective. True climate change activists would lead by example, not words.

There's a difference between climate change activists, and world leaders. Their methods do not translate due to the differences in their positions.

That said, you'd think they would realize how stupid this move was and try using transportation that is a bit less problematic.
