This is never a fruitful discussion, but in general, emitting a few thousand tons to save billions of tons is a worthwhile tradeoff.
And miss all the photo ops for the publicity?
Its no good just doing the right thing, everyone has to know that you are doing it.....

Then maybe you shouldn't be told what the outcome of the congress is... My understanding is that Nothing changed
So a few million tonnes to save 0 tonnes as it is, per my understanding. Could be wrong.
I don't think that's correct at all. They've been talking about massive compensation for impacted countries, which is quite significant.
Political progress is always slow, but COP has been fairly good if a bit aspirational, and this sort of thing is always best done in person as a lot of progress is made in the hallways.

So they've reallocated some of the money from climate change, but not addressed the cause. And here I thought it was all about saving the planet, not $$$$$

OK? I'm obviously not directly involved in determining the funding, maybe you have a better line on that.
I'm more about not letting perfect be the enemy of good. Any progress is better than none, and I'm still hopeful for my kids.
Why do they travel around the globe in private jets? Why not attend by teleconference? Or if they have to be there in person, why not travel by scheduled airline?
Because they are "do as I say not as I do" virtue-signaling hypocrite elites. A pox upon their houses.
