Not Enough Parking for Private Jets Going to UN Climate Conference
As climate alarmists from all over the world head to Bali to talk about the sacrifices regular folks have to make to save the planet from global warming, it seems certain media will ignore all the private jets clogging the tiny airport.
As if it’s not enough that the United Nations Climate Change Conference is being held at what NewsBusters reported as "a truly beautiful tropical island paradise," the management of the nearby airport has issued a warning to attendees that they are going to have to park their private jets somewhere else.
I kid you not.
As reported by Bali Discovery Tours on November 3 (emphasis added):
Tempo Interaktif reports that Angkasa Pura - the management of Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport are concerned that the large number of additional private charter flights expected in Bali during the UN Conference on Climate Change (UNFCCC) December 3-15, 2007, will exceed the carrying capacity of apron areas. To meet the added demand for aircraft storage officials are allocating "parking space" at other airports in Indonesia.
The operational manager for Bali's Airport, Azjar Effendi, says his 3 parking areas can only accommodate 15 planes, which means that some of the jets used by VIP delegations will only be allowed to disembark and embark their planes in Bali with parking provided at airports in Surabaya, Lombok, Jakarta and Makassar.
Talk about your really inconvenient truths.

How ironic, ha? We don't have enough parking space for private jets to a world climate conference... We all know time is money and people in such high positions are very busy but on a symbolic level they should have quite the jets, just this once. I am sure they'll find the space they need in an airport parking nearby, there are always resources for this sort of things.GW Conference.

I suppose it doesn't occur to these people that with available technology they don't have to leave home for this conference. It can be done remotely from each individuals location. Surely, if this conference were being held somewhere like Columbus Ohio (no offense intended) or in some remote Siberian town, there wouldn't be so many private jets to park.Private Jets

All this nonsense about climate change, is just a stealth tax the government uses to prize more money from our pockets, its a fact that when a volcano erupts like the icelandic one which caused misery for the travel and airport car parking industry, it cause more harm to the ozone layer than any human intervention could cause in ten years

Agreed, they are trying to get more money out of our pockets. They should really increase the parking spaces at their airport though. Only 15 planes? Really? That would be gone in no time.
