First the British heir to the throne, Prince Charles (72) in Rome, demanded “a huge war-like campaign” against climate change, then he jetted to Glasgow in a completely un-eco-friendly private jet – to the 26th World Climate Summit!
The British prince was not alone: at least 52 corporate executives and celebrities (including Amazon founder Bezos) also floated into private jets.

More than 400 flights were necessary for all guests (including Chancellor Merkel on the government plane).
According to the “Daily Mail”, more than 13,000 tons of CO² were blown into the atmosphere for the flights of the approaching noble climate protectors. As many as 290 fully occupied A320 planes from Frankfurt to Malle!

Otherwise only appearances are sacred: politicians and celebrities are chauffeured from the posh “Gleneagles Hotel” in 20 Tesla e-cars. In the absence of e-charging stations, they are charged with diesel generators.

US President Joe Biden (78, “May God save the planet”) alone caused 1000 tons of CO² with his fleet (“Air Force One”, escort aircraft, “Marine One” helicopter, armored limo “The Beast” etc.) …
… and then he fell asleep during the opening speeches.
