Copenhagen
“After all is said and done, more is said than done.”
~ Æsop
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was held was held in Copenhagen from December 7 through December 18, 2009.
Ninety eight world leaders were in attendance at one time or another in addition to 15,000 delegates and 5,000 journalists.
Getting these people to the convention required 140 private jets plus 1,200 limousines to ferry them around Copenhagen once they were there.
It is estimated that the convention generated as much greenhouse gases as Middlebrough, a city of approximately 150,000 in England.
