Four Hundred Private Jets Descend On COP27 In Show Of Climate Hypocrisy

Climate delegates were accused of hypocrisy after 400 private jets arrived in Egypt for COP27.

Numerous posts on social media criticized delegates for traveling by private jet to the UN climate summit.

Posts and reports included various estimates for the number of such planes bringing delegates to the gathering in the beach resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. [emphasis, links added]

Climate Action Against Disinformation, a group that analyses trends in false information on social media, said in a report on Thursday that narratives of supposed ‘hypocrisy and elitism’ were one of the main focuses of climate-skeptic messages during COP27.

Their true interest isn't climate change but investing climate. :smokin:

Many more private jets flew to Switzerland a few years back.  In fact, the British Prime Minister and Prince Charles took separate private jets.  Bicycles and buses are for the, ahem, little people. Like you.
