The UK Telegraph figures the much discussed climate summit beginning today in Copenhagen will produce as much carbon dioxide as a town the size of Middlesbrough.
I have no idea what size town Middlesbrough is, but here are some numbers attached to the Climate Summit.
1200 and rising-number of limousines reserved by attendees. There is such a demand for limos that providers are having to head to Germany and Sweden and drive the cars hundreds of miles back to Denmark for the week.
5-hybrids reserved
140-additional private planes so far above the airport's ability to handle that after dropping off passengers the planes must fly off to regional airports or Sweden to park.
41,000-tons of carbon dioxide equivalent the summit will put out, more than 60 of the world's smallest countries put out in a year combined.
4000-protesters, renamed, "detainees"
360-"cages" to house the "detainees" in an unused brewery
