FOUR HUNDRED private jets arrived in Egypt for COP27;
‘More than 400 private jets landed in the past few days in Egypt,’ a source close to the Egyptian aviation authorities, who asked not to be named, told AFP on Thursday.
‘There was a meeting ahead of COP27, and officials were expecting those jets and made some arrangements in Sharm el-Sheikh airport to welcome those planes.’
On November 6, Ahmed Moussa, a talk-show host close to the Egyptian leadership, boasted on air that ‘Sharm el-Sheikh’s airport welcomed more than 300 private jets. The airport was renovated with more corridors in order to welcome the guests of COP27.’

‘A twisted joke’: UN’s flagship climate summit sees sharp jump in fossil fuel industry delegates
// Researchers pored through the U.N.’s provisional list of named attendees to count the number of individuals
registered either acting on behalf of the fossil fuel industry
or those directly affiliated with oil and gas companies, such as BP, Shell and Chevron. //

I think we are so used to the hypocrisy of these summits that sadly its hardly worth a comment. Its an expectation. Do as we say not as we do.

“Let them take public transit”! May be their famous last words.
I received an email yesterday from an organization I belong to noting that Alberta had sent attendees, “in order to provide our perspective”. Why we would dignify this dog & pony show with our presence is beyond me. It’s not like they’re going to pay attention to a word we have to say. The “science” has long been settled. There are better battlefields to fight on.
How dare they???!!!
Oh…wait…they don’t produce oil, right??!!
A target-rich environment. The things that happen when you don’t have a spare ICBM to launch.
Private jets are fuelled by the smell of money.
How many citizen annual emissions equivalent is the CDN delegation emitting to visit Egypt on the taxpayer dime?

The Canadian contingent is 335 strong. I wonder if they flew in several smaller jets or just chartered a 747.
Canada sent THREE HUNDRED and THIRTY-FIVE people to a vacation in Egypt, cost not yet revealed.
There are going to be a lot of photos taken in front of the pyramids. If it was Bulgaria 3 women with braided armpits would have shown up.
Tell me you have not been to Bulgaria without saying you have not been to Bulgaria.
The feminine beauty in BG is second to none. That countries best kept secret.
Imagine greenie pyramid schemers having a party in a place with real pyramids and mummies? All that’s needed now is a burning bush, tablets of new commandments and Greta the wise with a stick trying to part the Red Tape Sea to lead fossil fuel slaves to the promised land of 2+2=5.
Not one damn ELECTRIC jet in the lot, hippocriters!
We know carbon is not the problem for them, people are.
Where’s my private jet?
Maybe before next year we can shame pma-hole to take the new electric jets.. Either he will get there 3 days late or better still, not at all.
