How many of them have a private jet? Your working class American might make 5 times as much as a person living in the third world, but the clowns at this climate conference are easily 1,000 times as rich. Your comparison is meaningless.

It's even less credible when the one person is putting 10x as much carbon in the atmosphere as the average person. And until the rich start making personal sacrifices, they lack any moral authority to demand sacrifices from others.
