Only posting because it seems some people have not spotted why this story resonated so much: it epitomises a certain view of Davos - the rich and famous, meeting to discuss problems they imagine themselves disproportionately able to address, seemingly oblivious to their own disproportionate role in causing the problems in the first place (surely it's beyond debate that anyone flying a private jet has a disproportionately large carbon footprint?).
