I mean if international leaders meeting in person achieves even minute national changes in longterm climate policy then that private jet ride will have paid itself off many times over.
AFAIK, Bill Gates is the only 1% er who does this.
What I often see even with smaller national oil refineries are more in style of 'we lose this tiny battle and sell it 100x over via massive PR campaigns, while quietly pushing through this nefarious additional oil something something'.
Political leaders don't care, they get their cut of the pie now and next election cycle is up in the stars anyway and desperately hope they and their offsprings will have one of top positions in future world. Peasants be damned.
Now with these simple facts cleared, what heart-warming message do they have for the plebs?
