    I don’t care what virtues they’re playing at. The real question is are they doing anything substantive? Also no.

        Because these summits have any kind of track record of accomplishing anything? Talk, talk, fly, talk, fly …

        They literally tore down kilometers of rainforest just for this summit. It was over before it started.

          Glad we can all agree choosing to meet up and be productive is counter productive

            Why do they have to meet in person at all?

            How about they discuss how damaging so much pointless business travel has come back in the era of technology that works very well to host meetings virtually.

              Because it’s effective.

            It’s too bad it’s impossible to meet other people in person without clear-cutting rainforest.

              Ikr, my homies and I have deforested a couple hectares at this point. Not very sustainable imo

                Sorry, sometimes I forget that other people have a hard time parsing sarcasm.
