What has the prices at the location got to do with anything, they paid their own way and are entitled to stay where they wish. They put their own money up front to travel from all over the world to do something, not a bad thing at all.

Maybe it is worth waiting to see what comes out of the conference, if it produces outcomes that significantly contribute to climate action, the 'massive' emissions might be small beer.
What? This bash in Davos could deliver the solutions that every COP has failed to do since Berlin in 1995?

I think I'll have another Old Pulteney, thanks.
So if there is progress without it being a silver bullet, it is a failure? If COP has been pretty damned weak we should never try anything else? The only pass mark is 100%

A very hard taskmaster.
The pass mark was 100% in Berlin back in 1995.

Interesting to note the cynicism on this forum. How many of you actually know what Davos achieves, too many on here quick to criticise but poor on actual knowledge.

Here is 2017. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/01/ ... davos-2017

How about 2020
Https://www.weforum.org/impact/

2023 looks like shaping up the same way.

So you miserable bunch in the backwaters of Thailand seem to have nothing better to do than act like a bunch of carping old women, and this thread is a stark example of that sadsack attitude.

No point in me losing sleep over climate change. The only thing that will lead to "change" is if the moneymen see a way to make more money from it

And once again you take the cynicism and differing personal opinions of fellow members as an excuse to dole out collective ad hominems.

I've noticed this appears to be cyclical. Weeks on end of borderline friendly bonhomie and then suddenly it's like someone's pissed in your cornflakes. Not that we're overly concerned but do you have any clues as to why this happens?

PS: Thanks for those links.

Climate change is a conspiracy, innit? Nothing to worry about.

Virtual conferences were tried at the height of the Covid pandemic, they didn't work.

Yeah no cocktail party to attend
So you never in your life had drinks with your workmates after hours, never went to a works Xmas party, never went to a FES lunch or dinner. You must have been a miserable sod.
Satire missed.
Along with the blatantly obvious straw man.

ps pipo - just for you.

In the latter yars of my life , having enjoyed most things, I do see that there is a problem that needs to be addressed, and although I understand the risks of doing nothing what if anything will affect me.
In truth one can moan and groan about what the younger generation will do`( Truthfully nothing that is done will affect my life.
True we all try to economise, recycle and grow trees ec, a small effort to appease our sensibilities . BUT affct Climate change,. when centuries ago the earth was warmer, wetter and in some years cooler as well, My gran remembered when the Thames in London froze over .
Now we are seenmg unprecendented rainfall in some places we forget that all weather is cyclical, the internal forces that shape our planet shake rattle and roll to maintain the weather in terms of tens of thousands of years, not the paltry 5/6000 years many allude to .

Why worry !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sure KP woke up this morning and decided it was a lovely day to post a provocative entry on this thread.

Agreed. Like the empty pension funds, depleted social security pots and soaring deficits, let the young and the feckless sort out all this mess the old and the indolent have made. After all, they seem to know everything already.
