No one is thinking too much about their carbon footprint at the World Economic Forum, now underway in Davos, Switzerland.
The hosting organization has a formal sustainability policy that vows to “limit our environmental impact” and addresses such issues as climate change and deforestation.
But wait. The number of private jets that have arrived in the pristine Alpine resort town has spiked 355 percent in the last few days.
More than 1,000 aircraft have landed at a quartet of regional airports near Davos at an average daily rate of 218, according to Air Charter Service, which supplies these luxury jets to elite travelers on six continents.
The normal rate of arrival at these four airports is 65 per day.
“Unlike other popular events for private jets — such as the Super Bowl or Champions’ League final — the World Economic Forum is unique for the industry in that we receive bookings from our offices all over the world, rather than just one or two locally.
In the past couple of years, along with flights arranged through our European offices, we have had bookings from our Hong Kong, India, and U.S. operations.
No other event has quite such a global appeal,” says Andy Christie, director for executive jets at the company, which is based in London and has 20 offices worldwide.
“Top countries involved in terms of arrivals in and departures out of the airports were Germany, France, and the U.K. The U.S. came in the fourth spot with 41 arrivals and 51 departures. Russia and the United Arab Emirates were also in the top 10 most popular, out of more than 30 countries in total,” adds Mr. Christie.
For those who wonder, former Vice President and climate alarmist Al Gore is attending the events in Davos, though there is no word on his method of travel.

No surprise. Business as usual. Same for the annual IPCC party. The bill for carbon dioxide abatement will be handed to the little people.
I expect that there’s not enough room at Davos for all those jets. They probably must leave to park somewhere else, then return to pick up the passengers when the champagne runs out.
Al Bore,Leonardo DiCaprio,Laurie David,John Travolta leave Carbon Craters that would make Meteor Crater in Arizona look like a rabbits hole in comparison
SONNYHILL is correct that carbon dioxide abatement will be handed to the little people. If we go by their actions it appears that the elite believe their social class is exempt.
CO2 emission’s from politicians don’t count when they are flying around to save the planet …. and raise taxes . A win /win in their
world . At least President Trump has called BS on the world’s largest fraud .
Now we just need a Special Council to figure haw Obama slid half a $billion out the door as he was leaving . Bridge financing ?
Now we know the top bananas at the FBI were scheming to frame President Trump using FBI resources , the media and a Clinton paid for fake dossier can it really be that surprising the corruption didn’t extend to the earth has a fever fleecing of tax payers . Take it to the bank but we can wait a few more weeks for the election corruption by the fifth estate to be fully exposed .
The news this evening has been riveting. It’s too late for damage control by the Democrats and their accomplices.
Draining the swamp is doing things the hard way. Start at the top of the establishment heap.
Maybe the answer to the planet having a fever is to breed smaller humans . What is the entire USA population was the size of the temporary French leader ? They just produced test tube monkey’s .. why not 5′ 4 ” humans or even 5 ” humans ?
Two senior FBI love birds cheating on their spouses being blackmailed by members of the MSM in on their affair . Explains some of it but we aren’t even finished round one .
The big dogs are about to be exposed . Thank God Al gore opened up the internet .
Re: smaller people. The entire human race would fit in Texas and each person would get 100 square feet. Stack them up in condo’s and they’d get hundreds of square feet each.
Instead, put them in Alaska.
They’d have even more room, but beg for warming.
Al Bore uses far more electricity in one month them the average American Family uses in One Year and the idiots from both the Nobel Prize Commity and the Oscars give him awards for his fake Documentry A INCONVENT TRUTH which contains 9 errors and his latists take film A Inconvent Sequel Truth to Power Al Bore dont know the meaning of the word truth its like one of his latest books ASSUALLT ON REASON when its Al Bore who assualts Reason and then Hollywood Airhead Leonardo DiCaprio said of you rejected Global Warming your rejecting the truth and he works for the land of smoke and mirrors in Hollywood who fakes everything
