COP-15 in Copenhagen lasted 12 days, and is estimated to have attracted 15,000 delegates and 5,000 journalists. The carbon emissions created by so many people flying to Denmark was real, while the emissions targets that the conference sought remained beyond reach.
事实上，这些会议的铺张似乎并未收敛，反而有膨胀之势，因为它们的不给力已是众人皆知了。哥本哈根的COP15举行了12天，据估计共吸引了15000名与会代表和5000名记者。这么多人飞到丹麦所产生的碳排放可是实实在在的，而会议所追求的排放目标到现在还没个影子。德班也逃不过这个结局——只是规模可能比哥本哈根还要大。
