Let your fingers do the flying

EDITOR:

With all the attention given to global warming in the news lately, I was just wondering: Has anyone calculated the carbon footprints generated by the jet planes carrying the 20,000 or more delegates and their entourages to (and from) Copenhagen to finalize a climate change treaty?

Seems logical as well as economical to have conducted the meeting via video conferencing and kept the air a little cleaner.
