Environmental activists, government envoys, business leaders and journalists will emit 40,500 tons of the global- warming gas traveling to and within Copenhagen and for electricity and heat in their hotels and meeting rooms, according to an estimate by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which oversees the talks. Denmark’s government says it intends to offset the gases. “The fact that all these people are flying into Copenhagen is a wonderful irony,” Adair Turner, chairman of a committee that advises the U.K. government on climate change, said in an interview. He’s taking the “more carbon-friendly” approach of appearing at the conference via video conference, Turner said. Envoys from more than 190 nations aim to devise an agreement while in Copenhagen to cut emissions of heat-trapping gases that UN-sponsored scientists have said are causing “unequivocal” global warming, threatening to increase droughts and raise sea levels, swamping island-nations and coastal towns.'
