Canada sent 383 people to the UN climate conference, more than Australia, the U.K. and U.S. together

The massive Canadian contingent at the UN climate-change conference in Paris was originally estimated at 350 people, but it appears the trans-Atlantic road trip has expanded.

The ?provisional list of participants? just released by the UN has an amazing 383 names from Canada, ranking us among the largest entourages in the entire confab.

[...]

Canada has sent more people to Paris than Australia (46), the U.K. (96), the U.S. (148), Russia (313) and almost as many as host-country France (396).

Not a bad turnout for a country that emits just 1.6 per cent of the planet?s greenhouse gases, eh?

Or maybe it?s not something to admire when you consider how much polluting fossil fuel was burned to fly so many hundreds of people across the ocean to talk about burning less.

Looking down the list of Canada?s participants in Paris, it?s hard not to conclude we?re vastly over-represented.

Did we really need to send the deputy environment minister for the Northwest Territories? The climate-change youth ambassador for the Yukon? The leader of the New Brunswick Green Party? The interim leader of the Bloc Quebecois and his press secretary? The ?security coordinator? for Hydro-Quebec?

Climate change you have met thy match and his name is Justin Trudeau. It is he and he alone (+/- a few hundred delegates) who will single-handedly save the world from certain death and then ride out into to the universe and beyond to save us from gravity, time and any other unforeseen calamities caused by humanity.

it's OK though, because Canada's giving $3 billion to undeveloped shitholes to offset.
