Party at the end of the world - from Page Six:
Google’s extravagant climate change Camp mocked as party for ‘entitled fools’
Google’s carbon-spewing climate change conference at an Italian resort has been widely slammed as a tone-deaf party for the elite A-listers who jetted there.
“Is there anything more hypocritical than a bunch of rich people flying their private jets across the world to sit on yachts and discuss the future of our planet?” said Twitter user @asilia1981, reflecting the general reaction online to this week’s Google Camp event in Sicily.
As the party drew to a close on Thursday, newspaper columns and social media were awash with criticism for the three-day, billionaire-packed event — which saw more than 200 of the world’s richest and most famous names take private jets to the Italian island and stay on mega yachts while also talking about stopping climate change.
Entitled fools is a perfect description. These people are not our intellectual betters, they are self-absorbed entertainers. For them, the image and the narrative are all that matters. They have too many other important things to be doing to bother with piddling facts.
The London Daily Mail reported on this event too. Same conclusion. Useful idiots.
Party at the end of the world? Jimmy Buffett song.
