The world’s rich and famous have flocked to a posh Italian resort to talk about saving Mother Earth — but they sure are punishing her in the process. The three-day event will focus on fighting climate change — though it’s unknown how much time the attendees will spend discussing their own effect on the environment, such as the scores of private jets they arrived in and the mega yachts many have been staying on.
Many of the guests, including Obama and DiCaprio — who has his own climate change foundation — have described global warming as the biggest threat to future generations. But according to Italian press reports, the attendees were expected to show up in 114 private jets, and 40 had arrived by Sunday.
Even worse, they're going to talk; thus releasing even more "deadly" CO2 into the atmosphere on top of the 784,000 kilograms of the stuff they released with their private jets. Not that they're hypocrites or anything....
