So how much is the carbon cost to transport all the delegate there and back and to run the venue?

Putin and others were lambasted for not attending in person, think they really should be commended for not attending, if we've learnt anything over the last 18-24 months is this could of all been done on line,

Setting aside the Guardian's bias (as have most other publications, of course), the facts are undeniable: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... vate-plane.

It's such a shame. I visited that country for 3 weeks in the 1980s, and the ordinary people were so kind and polite. What might it have been like with better leadership?

No, I think the level of corruption, incompetence and cruelty in Zim is out there pretty much on its own, given that they started with a functioning country and loads of goodwill from the international community.
