Hopefully they planted some trees to offset their carbon expenditure. It would be nice if they stayed home; diverted the money from the trip and simply planted some trees.

I'm starting a couple trees indoors for the winter (two pomegranates and a drought tolerant lemon and tangerine). If we all plant some trees (suitable for one's locale), and tend to them until fruition; we will accomplish more then thousands of delegates.

Tldr: Squirrels combat climate change; squirrely flying around the world in jets does not.

Edit: I should add drought tolerant citrus is quite the misnomer. That being said, I have recently found a six inch diameter four ft tall Meyer lemon and a similar stature tangerine. The best part of this discovery is that they were found in abandoned farmland with no irrigation for three years.

Hoping to get a few growing and then start squirrely tossing seeds in barren environments. Nature will find a way, it's up to us to follow it.

Not having to travel for hours and being able to present from the comfort of one's home sounds like a decent option. That and planting trees.

Watching a powerpoint in person vs watching on a screen is the same thing. Can actually see better at home if you stream to your tv...

We will eventually learn?

Edit: A couple more benefits of streaming at home...

You can pause the PowerPoint and use the restroom; without flooding the poor parts of town with sewage.

You can share your viewpoints with billions of people...

You don't have to deal with the hr hassles of uncle roger getting a bit too frisky during the networking sessions...

You can embrace your local community and make a difference there instead of making a mess in a desert archipelago...

Tldr: Why do we even have technology when we sign deals behind closed doors with no cameras present?
