It’s not just you.

Hopefully they planted some trees to offset their carbon expenditure. It would be nice if they stayed home; diverted the money from the trip and simply planted some trees.
I'm starting a couple trees indoors for the winter (two pomegranates and a drought tolerant lemon and tangerine). If we all plant some trees (suitable for one's locale), and tend to them until fruition; we will accomplish more then thousands of delegates.
Tldr: Squirrels combat climate change; squirrely flying around the world in jets does not.
Edit: I should add drought tolerant citrus is quite the misnomer. That being said, I have recently found a six inch diameter four ft tall Meyer lemon and a similar stature tangerine. The best part of this discovery is that they were found in abandoned farmland with no irrigation for three years.
Hoping to get a few growing and then start squirrely tossing seeds in barren environments. Nature will find a way, it's up to us to follow it.

I 100% agree with you on this. Planting any tree but especially natives are likely our best shot to help. With regard to this summit it sounds like they should’ve gotten the burning man crew to organize it - they are surprisingly good at making events happen in the dessert.
