11/3/2007) Tempo Interaktif reports that Angkasa Pura - the management of Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport are concerned that the large number of additional private charter flights expected in Bali during the UN Conference on Climate Change (UNFCCC) December 3-15, 2007, will exceed the carrying capacity of apron areas. To meet the added demand for aircraft storage officials are allocating “parking space” at other airports in Indonesia.
Obviously the only way to really get the feel for global warming is to sit in the sun drinking rum drinks so I can see why the UN had to fly everyone to Bali.
As Glenn Reynolds said, “I’ll believe it’s a crisis when the people who tell me it’s a crisis start acting like it’s a crisis.”
Exactly, if this were a crisis they could find a more central location (Like North Dakota), fly in on commercial planes or actually hold regional meetings and teleconference to give it worldwide scope.
But this global warming thing is the UN jumping in on the bandwagon to create a profit for their leadership. I just wish that the US news organizations would quit treating the UN like they are the final arbiters of what’s right. They’re a good gauge of that, but only if you assume they’re saying the wrong thing.
