RE: COP-16 United Nations Climate Change Conference, Cancún
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1333520/Hypocrisy-Huhne-eco-summit-personal-Jacuzzi-240-night-room.html

After a hard day at the negotiating table, what could be nicer than a soak in your personal double Jacuzzi with a view over the Caribbean?
Such luxury will greet Cabinet minister Chris Huhne – and 45 other British Government delegates – during international global warming talks in Mexico. Mr Huhne, the Energy nd Climate Change Secretary, will be enjoying the facilities of the £240-a-night Moon Palace Golf and Spa Resort in Cancun for the United Nations summit.

Rumor has it that over 15,000 politicians, associates and other ‘necessary’ hangers on will be in attendance at at the Moon Palace Hotel and using the Cancun Messe on the coastal resort of Cancun, Mexico for the current round of ‘save the planet’ meetings. ... The last conference of this size produced as much emissions as town the size of Middlesbrough. However organisers claim as much as possible is being done to keep emissions down including using solar and wind to generate electricity, reducing water use in hotels and providing hybrid cars for transport.

Ah how the poor delegates will suffer!

The spectacular Moon Palace is the standard for all-inclusive luxury resorts in Cancun (or anywhere else for that matter). As the flagship resort of the Palace Resort family in Cancun, the Moon Palace features a list of services and amenities that would make any sibling a little envious: 123 acres of tropical greenery, nearly 2,000 feet of silky white beach, 2,457 air-conditioned rooms with double Jacuzzi, 15 buffet and a la carte restaurants, 12 bars including swim up bars, two oversized free style pools, one indoor pool, six tennis courts, two basketball courts, two fitness centers, miniature golf, a kids club, a discotheque, and a daily activities program with theme nights

2. So the lifestyle standard for AGW proponents
is to behave like "major oil corporation execs"? It's good to know that you set such a high standard. I feel better knowing the COP 16 delegates are putting the planet first.

But if the oil execs and the doomers behave the same, how can distinguish them from one another?
