My issue with all of this is that people like me would take this a bit more serious if people like the 44th POTUS didn't fly all the way to Glasgow to deliver a speech on how burning fossil fuels is bad for the environment.

I think change is good. This change is going to be disruptive but good. It's a huge opportunity for new kinds of jobs.

However, I think symbolism matters. Doing COP26 over zoom like the rest of us have been doing meetings the last 18 months would make their pleas more palatable.

How productive are your zoom meetings? Are you able to effectively influence people by having side IM chats with them? I mean I get that it’s a circus atmosphere and that most things of substance are probably hashed out ahead of time but having face to face gatherings to hash out world-changing decisions isn’t unreasonable. Jetting off everywhere else, sure.
