Hard to feel guilty about energy usage when the politicians arriving for the summit all arrive by private jet.

Even the loudest politicians usually maintain 3 or 4 homes, often with heated swimming pools.

I'm a bit tired of the extreme hypocrisy. If someone like Jimmy Carter or Ralph Nader (they both live humble lives) were to be the leading voice, I'd feel better about things.

This isn’t hypocrisy. The message from the leaders isn’t “we all need to do our part to emit less carbon”—that kind of personal responsibility approach isn’t going to work. We need to stop subsidizing carbon so that people’s economic interests are aligned with the interests of our planet. We need to solve this systemically.
