This from London’s Evening Standard:
The UN secretary-general today called on world leaders for immediate action on climate change — before flying thousands of miles to the US for a music concert and then leaving in the interval to jet to Europe.
Ban Ki Moon has been slammed for planning a round-the-world trip that will generate thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions just days after he leaves the UN meeting in Bali.
The Times of London estimates that the extra 4,300 miles of jet-setting will generate about 1,684 pounds of extra carbon dioxide emissions — for each member of the UN chief’s delegation.
