Davos Man Needs to Be Extinctified
Convening to ring the alarm about global warming, our putative betters and would-be rulers gathered in Davos, Switzerland, filling the local general-aviation hangars with some 1,700 private jets.
Taking an international commercial flight is one of the most carbon-intensive things the typical person does in his life, but if you’re comparing carbon footprints between your average traveler squeezed into coach on American and Davos Man quaffing Pol Roger in his cashmere-carpeted intercontinental air limousine, you’re talking Smurfette vs. Sasquatch. The Bombardier’s Global 6000 may be a technical marvel, but it still runs on antique plankton juice. The emissions from heating all those sprawling hotel suites in the Alps in winter surely makes baby polar bears weep bitter and copious baby-polar-bear tears.Davos’s Destructive Elites

Your Say
Makes me wonder: with all these Muslims chopping peoples' heads off why they don't strike Davos, where all the money is?
Press blackout where elsewhere we can learn Sarah Palin's bra size or who is shtupping the child hookers or how much money Romney gave to the Red Cross.
The snow storm in New York is getting more coverage than Benghazi.

Chas, whacking that piggy pile in Davos would set off a shit storm that the ragheads don't want. Unheading a couple hundred kids and stoning a bunch of women, hey, who cares.
Scumbag some real assholes and the funds dry up; then the hunt is on. No place to hide.

I agree with the sentiments expressed in the article. But I would also like to raise the possibility that petroleum is not "dead plankton juice" - that it is a geologic product, that is still being formed deep in the earth. I would also like to remark that carbon dioxide is very important for plant life, and a little more wouldn't hurt.

Punditarian: Ahem, may I call to your attention that everything is slowing down: the earth on its axis, the planets on their journey around our sun, and the solar system on its course through our galaxy? Results on galactic speed is still out.
There are enough trees in the PacNW to supply the world with oxygen.
Our planet is gradually losing weight. Every year many helium atoms are escaping into space. A scholarly dissertation at this link will provide all the proof needed to confirm what a panel of international experts has discovered through investigation:
