Read this report below:
If carbon dioxide was a real problem, these dedicated, high minded , altruistic people would not subscribe the the emission of so much of it. They would use video conferencing instead.



Copenhagen climate change summit to produce as much CO2 as an African country

By David Derbyshire Last updated at 2:04 AM on 07th December 2009

It is being hyped as the summit that will save the planet. But, according to critics, next week's climate change talks in Copenhagen are more likely to cost the earth.
Researchers yesterday estimated that the bill for the 12-day jamboree will top £130million – and will generate as much greenhouse gas as an entire African country.
More than 15,000 delegates and 45,000 green activists are due to descend on the Danish capital over the next two weeks in a meeting described by British economist Lord Stern as 'the most important since the Second World War'.
They will be joined by at least 5,000 journalists – including 35 from the BBC alone – and 100 world leaders, including Gordon Brown and Barack Obama.
The UN has confirmed flights, rail and bus travel, food and energy from the conference will generate at least 41,000 tons of carbon dioxide.
 
That's more greenhouse gas than produced by Malawi, Afghanistan or Sierra Leone over the same period.

Western nations will also be asked to pay into a fund worth £100 billion a year to help developing countries protect against rising sea levels, droughts and floods.
