What could we learn from the Copenhagen Climate summit: to pollute to stop the pollution?

With proud, they announced 15.000 participants from all over the world, 5000 press, the largest number ever recorded in Copenhagen.

Even if on a normal day, Copenhagen is the greenest capital in the world, my guess it will take a few years to recover from this:

Facts:

  • 15.000 participants
  • 5000 press
  • 98 world leaders
  • ? protesterssummit
  • ? staff for hotels/catering
  • 1200 limos (5 hybrid cars)
  • 140 private jets
  • food (locally cultivated?)

Traveling by plane/per passenger:

  • Fom the USA 1.179 kg CO2
  • From Australia 2.906 CO2
  • From N Africa 943 CO2
  • From S Africa 2.221 kg CO2
  • From China 1.174 kg CO2
  • From Russia 777 kg CO2

Traveling by train: nuclear

Traveling by car (60 miles):

  • Small car : 1,7 kg CO2
  • Average car: 3,3 kg CO2
  • SUV/ 4 wheel: 4,7 kg CO2

Total estimated Copenhagen Climate pollution: 41.000.000 kg CO, the equivalent of the emission of Narsaq, the third most populated town in South Greenland, in 1 year

And what about the global Cooling summits from the 80-90; where we were all going to freeze to death.
