Worl Wildlife's Fund's Around The World Extravaganza

[HOZ]

Nothing like Elite Environmentalism!
25 days. Private Jet. 65000 dollars. 19 spaceous rows of LEATHER seats.

I am sure they have paid their carbon indulgences to the Goracle. So there is nothing to worry about.


This really have to make you wonder what lunacy is driving the "environmental set".

There ARE very dedicated environmental people, but in the last decade the Environmental movement has been hijacked by political activist and underhanded opportunists. Green has become huge business!

I don't understand what the problem is. It's a trip where you pay to go see remote places and things. Part of the fee goes to help the WWF's projects. What's wrong with that?

By seeing the world you educate yourself to different cultures and problems. By seeing other animals and habitats, you can see the different challenges and perhaps where donations go.

Sure it's super expensive, but I still don't see what the problem is. Rich people are going to do rich people things regardless. Why not do it in a way that can help make a positive impact?

Considering they are one of the Global Warming Alarmists you'd think they could come up with a better fund raiser than using enough fuel to power 1500 SUV's for 25 days. The quintessential " Do as I say and not as I do" hypocrisy of today's environmentalists.

To quote them.....

Mission

WWF'g network gives the organization global reach.

WWF's mission is the conservation of nature. Using the best available scientific knowledge and advancing that knowledge where we can, we work to preserve the diversity and abundance of life on Earth and the health of ecological systems by

• protecting natural areas and wild populations of plants and animals, including endangered species;
• promoting sustainable approaches to the use of renewable natural resources; and
• promoting more efficient use of resources and energy and the maximum reduction of pollution.

Delivering results- WWF and HP


HP pledges to cut carbon dioxide emissions
In a joint effort with WWF, HP committed to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 15 percent over the next four years at its operating facilities worldwide. As and environmental leader in the technology sector, HP has set measurable targets that will educate and inspire other industry leaders to take meaningful action to reduce their carbon footprint

***********************
Dr. Richard Moss, WWF vice president for climate change, said the impacts of climate change are currently being felt most acutely in the Polar Regions. “The Arctic, the Antarctic Peninsula, sub-Antarctic islands and the Southern Ocean are warming rapidly – at rates well above the global average. As these regions continue to warm, species, including penguins and polar bears, are unwittingly serving as our sentinels. They are calling out attention to the ecological disruption and the wave of extinctions that climate change is bringing not just to those regions, but to the entire planet.”

I guess it just depends how they use the money they raise. If their raising a whole bunch of money that is being put to good use, and offsetting their carbon I don't see the problem.

Do you expect them to build the first green SUV and use that too? I mean I can see how it looks to be hypocritical but on the other hand, everyone has to use vehicles at some point for somethings. If they are using it to help promote and pay for positive change, then why not?

I think you expect a little too much from them.

I guess this argument is quite lost on you. They are a conservation group. They are not conserving. They are going against even their own mission statement with this extravaganza.

You would think these smart people could come up with a fund raiser that provided as much education and not so much polluting.

This is outrageous. How dare these people go on vacation when they have been saying for years that all human activity should stop and we should live in caves?

Flying in an airplane? They probably won't even walk to the airport.

These people (I don't know who they are, what they do, where they live or even their names, but still) are typical rich commie liberal hypocrites.
