Environmentally Friendly?

Is it just me that ends up with a certain bemused cynicism to see that the UN Conference on Climate Change which is currently all over the news is in – um – Bali ?

So every attendee is going to have had to fly in to Bali. And OK, I realise that people would have to travel in order to get to the conference wherever it was held – although surely that would be where something virtual like Second Life should be able to come into its own? Or is it just me that thinks it would make more sense to have something like this use an on-line way of doing all this shit, rather than adding umpteen thousands of air/carbon miles for a conference about global warming?
