UN Climate Scientists Seek Out Some Local Warming

I'm glad all that money we give to the UN is going to good causes (from Special Report):

Global warming may be the enemy in the eyes of delegates to the upcoming United Nations Climate Change Conference — but the warm weather of a tropical resort apparently doesn't sound so bad.

U.N. staffers and others will fly the 10,000 miles from U.N. headquarters in chilly New York to Bali, Indonesia in December — at what is billed as the island's, "most luxurious hotel and resort" — which features amenities such as sailing, snorkeling and kayaking.

U.N. policy permits staffers to travel in high-priced business class for long haul flights — tickets to Bali go for between $4,700 and more than $10,000 — on planes that emit tons of carbon dioxide… on their way to the resort — for the conference that is scheduled to last almost two weeks.

I think Glenn Reynolds says it best when he talks about global warming:

I'll believe it's a crisis when the people who keep telling me it's a crisis start acting as if it's a crisis.
