Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' £48million Gulf Stream has led a 400-strong parade of private jets into COP25 including Prince Albert of Monaco, scores of royals and dozens of 'green' CEOs as an extraordinary traffic jam forced empty planes to fly 30 miles to find space to park. Some environmental activists at the COP26 climate conference will be urging others to cut down on air travel and eat less meat, but apparently it is fine for billionaires to fly in on their own planes on routes already served by commercial airlines.(Snip)Conservative predictions suggest the fleet of private jets arriving for COP26 will blast out 13,000tonnes of carbon dioxide

Nothing but a bunch of big egos lusting after wealth, influence, and power.
We're suppose to listen to them? We're suppose to follow their lead?
No way. Quite the opposite. It would be harmful if we did. How many people would perish worldwide if we got off coal, oil, and gas without a coherent plan? Perhaps that's the plan all along. How many of these people think the world is overpopulated and needs to shrink in size?

I would like to see one of them use a solar and wind powered boat.

These events seem more like "insider trading" opportunities, and many are likely violating various corporate policies (i.e. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act - FCPA).
As they could be privvy to information that they can invest in, or trade in, based on the advanced knowledge of public and private policies being discussed.

Always keep the Great Reset in mind. It is for us little people. The global elite will always be able to spew carbon. Whenever they want, how ever they want, where ever they want.

Each plane hauling two or three people on the same fuel that could haul 100 in an airliner.
Don't do as we do, do as we SAY.

Remember when Indy found the Holy Grail? And how the knight who guarded the cave told him to 'choose wisely' ? Well these fools have a high price to pay coming, and it will be administered by the Ultimate Judge over all of us, and they will not be able to buy their way out of trouble. And their trouble will be for all eternity too.

These arseholes are the enemies of humanity. Trial, piano wire, lamppost. Repeat as neccessary.
Also, all life on this planet is CARBON-based. Carbon is not a pollutant. It is essential to life.

I mean if they were sincere, they would take commercial flights. They don't seem to be bothered by the rank hypocrisy. Maybe they actually think they are better than us. I know John Kerry does,,,

Worked in Scotland for 3 years. Trust me, Joe's commuting from Edinburgh for a reason. Glasgow's claims to be a world class city don't get up to MY standards let alone Joe's.

Do away with all fossil fuels and carbon based fuels. And not one jet aircraft will get off the ground. Maybe they all will convert to rocket power with liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. Not a lot of range but a helluva ride.

if they were really serious, they'd do Zoom meetings. The rules only apply to us low life peons who's only purpose is to work for them to enrich them further.

Covid has taught us that Skype (among others) is a viable tool for meetings. No need to travel any more.
