Come on guys. World leaders need to meet face to face. We all know its a better form of interaction and it vastly increases your ability to hammer out a deal.
The hypocrisy is in what they want to do, and not that they met.

Leaders are one thing, but apparently there were over 30 000 attendees. Considering average emissions from flights, excluding all other emissions from the conference, that's still around 30MT, or over 10% of Alberta's yearly emissions. It's not nothing.
