The 2023 World Economic Forum will start in a couple of days, and brace for “bold, collective action”:
The world today is at a critical inflection point. The sheer number of ongoing crises calls for bold collective action.
The Annual Meeting will convene leaders from government, business, and civil society to address the state of the world and discuss priorities for the year ahead.
It will provide a platform to engage in constructive, forward-looking dialogues and help find solutions through public-private cooperation.
While the gathered elites and self-proclaimed do-gooders discuss the need for fossil fuels to be banned and call on the peasantry to subsist on a diet of insects in order to save the planet from a fiery demise due to climate change, they’ll be eating foie gras aboard their private jets that are definitely not solar-powered:
WEF – in a staggering display of hypocrisy, 1000+ private jets are due into Davos, carrying World Leaders and elites.
Meanwhile the EU is banning many short haul flights, forcing citizens to take trains instead.

As usual, if man-made climate change caused by excessive fossil fuel emissions wasn’t a problem before the World Economic Forum, it sure will be afterward!
Tomorrow – thousands of private jets will fly into Davos brimming with the top 1% who will discuss how they can make the rest of us poorer, more miserable and less free.
My time in Davos last year was one of the eeriest, creepiest and down right depressing experiences I’ve had

The annual gas-powered, high-flying Parade of Hypocrites is about to kick off yet again:
The analysis found that private jet flights were up 93 percent during the week in late May of the 2022 World Economic Forum compared with the weeks before and after the conference, which includes sustainability and global warming as a major focus of discussions. Long-haul private jet flights of greater than 1,860 miles, or 3,000 kilometers, were especially high compared with the baseline, according to the Greenpeace analysis, which was produced by CE Delft, a Dutch environmental consultancy, using private jet flight data at the airports near the location of the conference in the Swiss Alps.
One of the flights in the analysis traveled just 13 miles, or 21 km — and eventually went onward to the French Riviera resort of Cannes.
Last year there were countless private jets and this year there’s no reason to believe there won’t be this many or more since the level of hypocrisy only seems to rise every year:

This is a graph of private jets taking off & landing at airports near Davos. During its peak over 200 a day were polluting the Swiss countryside.

Is there any doubt some of these private jet-set people will have a serious discussion about how your gas stoves and pickup trucks are really bad for the planet?
Davos globalists are set to discuss climate change again.
Last year, their private jets belched out the CO2 equivalent of 350,000 cars.
Private jet emissions quadrupled during Davos 2022.
But yeah, you’re bad for driving an SUV.

But… but they buy “offsets” and plant a tree once in a while so it’s supposed to be OK.
