Global Warming Hypocrites

So, if the worshipers of the Goracle really believe their own hype and think feel that people should be forced to make major lifestyle changes to prevent global warming, how do you explain this,

Tempo Interaktif reports that Angkasa Pura – the management of Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport are concerned that the large number Gadditional private charter flights expected in Bali during the UN Conference on Climate Change (UNFCCC) December 3-15, 2007, will exceed the carrying capacity of apron areas. To meet the added demand for aircraft storage officials are allocating “parking space” at other airports in Indonesia.

The operational manager for Bali’s Airport, Azjar Effendi, says his 3 parking areas can only accommodate 15 planes, which means that some of the jets used by VIP delegations will only be allowed to disembark and embark their planes in Bali with parking provided at airports in Surabaya, Lombok, Jakarta and Makassar.

Yes, you are reading that right. There are going to be so many private planes at the UN Conference on Climate Change that one airport can’t handle them all.

Shouldn’t flying to an international meeting about global warming in a private plane be a faux pas of some sort? I mean, if you’re going to suggest that massive new costs be imposed on average people, whinge about SUVs, and demand that we risk rolling brownouts every summer rather than build new coal or oil powered plants, then surely you can ride in a commercial jet with the commoners.

Better yet, couldn’t they all just meet via teleconference and avoid expending those greenhouse gasses altogether? Sure, it would be less convenient, but I’ve yet to see a global warming alarmist who worries about inconveniencing anyone else with his policies. So, why isn’t what’s good for the Goose, good for the Gander?
