Copenhagen climate summit: 1,200 limos, 140 private planes and caviar

It's like I have said before... watch what they do, not what they say. This tells us more about the whether the "Earth is in the Balance"... or not.

Copenhagen climate summit: 1,200 limos, 140 private planes and caviar wedges

Copenhagen is preparing for the climate change summit that will produce as much carbon dioxide as a town the size of Middlesbrough.

On a normal day, Majken Friss Jorgensen, managing director of Copenhagen's biggest limousine company, says her firm has twelve vehicles on the road. During the "summit to save the world", which opens here tomorrow, she will have 200.

"We thought they were not going to have many cars, due to it being a climate convention," she says. "But it seems that somebody last week looked at the weather report."

Ms Jorgensen reckons that between her and her rivals the total number of limos in Copenhagen next week has already broken the 1,200 barrier. The French alone rang up on Thursday and ordered another 42. "We haven't got enough limos in the country to fulfil the demand," she says. "We're having to drive them in hundreds of miles from Germany and Sweden."

And the total number of electric cars or hybrids among that number? "Five," says Ms Jorgensen. "The government has some alternative fuel cars but the rest will be petrol or diesel. We don't have any hybrids in Denmark, unfortunately, due to the extreme taxes on those cars. It makes no sense at all, but it's very Danish."

The airport says it is expecting up to 140 extra private jets during the peak period alone, so far over its capacity that the planes will have to fly off to regional airports – or to Sweden – to park, returning to Copenhagen to pick up their VIP passengers.

What that summit needs is an EMP detonation high over Norway. A sure way to knock out all the cars.

That will teach the overpaid nobs what walking is all about.

I tried to tell some of my young single buddies to fly over there (Europe in general) instead of wasting their time on these triflin girls here. "If you take the money you would've spent on dates with a couple girls here and use it to fly over there, you can hand-select the model of your dreams.... and still come out ahead."
