is this some knd of joke.....

The delegations going to Bali, are sorting their own Carbon offsets because the organisers couldn't agree on how to offset the conference...Is this some kind of joke people, you are supposed to be running a conference to halt global warming REQUIRING pretty much global agreement on how to reduce emissions; and you couldn't agree on a simple thing like offsetting the conference???
Ill have to say as far as lame goes there could be a place in history for this. Here's hoping the Delegates do a little better than the organisers. Could it really be that hard to work out the number of people attending, the emissions per head, then add it to the cost per attendee, surely not, i mean these are the people that invented offsets.......
It is pretty much a disgrace, given the amount of emissions being generated by such an elaborate affair - reports say up to the equivalent of 20,000 cars for a year - Don't get me wrong I am all for the greater good and of all emissions created in the world this conference is up there for worthy causes but not to be able to agree on the offsets, thats another whole story.
as Leyton Hewitt would say. COME ON!!!!!
cheers
