    These politicians are not the messengers. They are our servants, send to Copenhagen to work out a sustainable climate deal. They're not there to make a moral appeal, but to work out an international agreement.
    People fighting hunger are not encouraging us all to stop eating. People fighting homelessness are not encouraging us all to live on the streets.

    Surely there are commercial flights, trains, and such that travel to Copenhagen? Buses or taxis for local travel?

    Sending politicians to international meetings on budget class with domestic bus services... oh my oh my... that would produce some interesting results.
