well I think we can all agree with greenpeace on this one. - C_T_Russell - 17-01-2023
Not that I have an issue with people using private jets, but their hypocrisy at the world economic forum is ridiculous.
We get told to avoid Trans tasman weekend flights for ski trips or shipping, buy when it comes to world economic forum delegates, that's OK to fly tour private jet.

There's no good reason why they couldn't have caught the train, surely.
Its appalling that those who are in their position aren't far more aware; it creates the perception that while they're trying to change things for the better, they prefer to not apply that to themselves.

they probably justify it with musings of their time being too valuable to sit on a train

Yeah, you're probably right about that, but they really ought to know far better.
