THE fight against global warming has globe-trotting bureaucrats attending more than one international climate conference every week. Department of Climate Change staff flew first class to 64 global climate change meetings in just 12 months at a cost of more than $4 million. A Senate committee heard that 93 staff went to destinations including Greenland, the Maldives, Japan, the US and Bolivia.The trips cost taxpayers more than $2.74 million in airfares and $1.6 million for accommodation and meals.
The Government's special envoy on climate change, Howard Bamsey, was the biggest spender, racking up $229,000 in travel costs during 2009-10.
He was followed by climate change ambassador Louise Hand, who spent $192,000 on travel over the same period.

All you Leftie big government lovers who claim that no one has a vested interest in the hoax being pushed by the UN... read the above and try to understand. This is not about science... It is about politics and corruption.
