Christmas trees banned for climate summit (Drudge)
http://www.cphpost.dk/climate/91-climate/47679-christmas-trees-banned-for-climate-summit.html

‘We have to remember that this is a UN conference and, as the centre then becomes UN territory, there can be no Christmas trees in the decor, because the UN wishes to maintain neutrality,’ said Olling.

1. As they should.
Although, technically, trees are not Christian.

In fact the Bible forbids them to Christians.

6. No, some meetings require face-to-face.
We're not discussing a quarterly business report here, or the layout of the company brochure.

There are 192 countries involved, with a multitude of languages.

7. Like, everyone is supposed to be Christian now?
It's bad enough here. Let's keep our garbage on this side of the pond.
