Yet another carbon-fuelled gab-fest

See what I mean (see last post)? In Sydney this time - the World Congress of Metropolis (reported here), at which delegates from 100 global cities will enjoy free hospitality at their respective taxpayers' expense for doing very little for three days. Given the carbon footprint will be about the size of Botany Bay, let's hope they're not discussing climate change, because that would be rank hypocrisy... oops, they are:

It will address issues facing cities around the world including climate change, financing public infrastructure, urban renewal, and social sustainability.

In fact, none other than Dr Rajendra Pachauri himself, the chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change, will be here - I sure hope he's paid for his carbon offsets. What do you think?
