Global Climate Summit: Fossil Fuels Making Us Fat

Professor Ian Roberts, an admirer of far-left socialist Noam Chomsky, advocates , if one takes his hypothesis to it's natural conclusion, of going back to covered wagons and horseback.  At the very least he is advocating bycycles and some form of  mass transit, combined with the elimination of personal vehicles.  This is obviously done under the guise of "global warming", but the cynic in me thinks that the real goal is to control or limit free movement of indiviuals.  I mean, we're talking about socialists. Populations are easier to control if their mobility is restricted.
Also, since he and all the others are so worried about CO2 and greenhouse gasses, why do the have so many of these conferences? People fly in from all over the world on private jets to these exotic locations.  The carbon footprint to put on one of these things must be godzilla-like.  Have thes people never heard of "GoToMeeting"?  - Brian
