Over 1600 participants at Carbon Market Insights 2008 in Copenhagen!

Take a look around here, and note that IPCC head Pachauri and UNFCCC Executive Secretary Yvo de Boer are confirmed speakers.

Note that this event has been held for at least five years, and over 1600 attended last year as well. In the last decade or two, I wonder how much money has been spent (and how much carbon dioxide has been emitted) as a result of events like this.

If carbon dioxide hysteria is allowed to fade away, an awful lot of people are going to be disappointed.

Update: Check out the bullish press release here.

Is IPCC head Pachauri paid for this event? If so, isn't that a conflict of interest?
