Thank God for the Google Camp's Climate Change Conference

This picture makes me so angry. It's obviously just a jolly for them. Stupid cow.

The "divorced American"comment from Ngaio1 is just wrong and unnecessary.

I think you're spot on Anniebach .

I was trying to make the point that I thought this was a thread about climate change
As far as I can tell, Beckett, it is about the hypocrisy of such celebrities with huge carbon footprints, attending a jolly in Sicily, lecturing the rest of us on how we should be changing our life-styles to save the planet.

Thank you for alerting us to it Terribull, I hadn't heard about it.

I feel like writing to the Queen and asking when is Harry going to do some actual work. It's just one long party for him.

Oh, silly me. I thought it meant he wasn't wearing anything on his feet.
Oh, me too - what does it mean then?
Must investigate further.

It is not a bashing thread, it is opinions of two very privileged people who love the celebrity life style and have
a need for cameras

The palace are not going to comment !

I think that Google holds one of these highly secretive conferences every year, wasn't there a lot of controversy about a previous one?

2017:
This year’s event, which took place last week at the exclusive Verdura Resort near Sciacca on the south-west coast of Sicily, saw Prince Harry rub shoulders with an eclectic guest list, including Sir Elton John, Emma Watson and Sean Penn, in a picturesque valley of olive groves. The aim of the three-day conference? To bring great minds together and stimulate discussion...

Great minds

I like Harry had problems with my A levels , but if he can have a great mind so can I.

How ironic that Google which harvests so much info about its users should indulge in highly secretive conferences.

Are those really the greatest minds they could attract

2014 Conference:

Here's what one of the Great minds did in 2014:
Arianna Huffington: Arrived at the airport in London for my flight to Palermo and realized I had left my passport at the hotel!

You just couldn't make it up, could you.

beckett as far as saving the planet is concerned this is important if only for its hypocrisy:

PRINCE Harry reportedly gave a barefoot speech at a Google climate retreat yesterday - to celebs who flocked in on 114 private jets and superyachts.
And dozens of A-listers are reportedly choosing to stay on giant polluting superyachts during their time in Sicily.

They are also being ferried to-and-from the tech giant’s seventh annual jolly at an exclusive Sicilian resort in fuel-sucking Maseratis.

I wonder where I could find information bout other people attending the event. Are there scientists? People with real influence in world affairs?

Can't be all about stars and Harry can it?

Is there any good to be had from it?

I can't find anything online to explain what 'barefoot' means other than 'without shoes'

If the the attendees are held up as 'great minds' then there's really no hope for the planet, is there?

I think Obama was there
With Harry Styles and Katy Perry on the guest list, how serious is the tech giant’s secret summit?
Leonardo DiCaprio — who has his own climate change foundation called Do as I Say and Not as I Do

Those attending included Leonardo DiCaprio, Stella McCartney and Katy Perry, Chris Martin,
Harry Styles, Orlando Bloom, Bradley Cooper, Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas and Diane Von Furstenberg. Apparently Barack Obama had been invited but didn't show.

Not that I read the Sun online or anything.

Who's Bradley Cooper?

Is he that nice bloke who asks the questions on that quiz programme?
Perhaps those big brains from that programme are attending - there could be some hope yet.

He's an actor/producer/director Callistemon - starred with Lady Gaga recently in that A Star is Born remake. He really knows about the planet and things.

They are all so flabbergastingly egotistical and so full of hot air they are in danger of raising the global temperature by a couple of degrees just by their witterings.

At least Obama had the sense not to be associated with it.

Oh, that's a pity.
Just realised that I was thinking of Bradley Walsh.

Meghan's probably spitting feathers that she, being on maternity leave an' all, had to stay at home and couldn't add her twopenn'orth of simpering wisdom. Maybe she has snuck off to join the Clooneys in Tuscany to make up for it.

How did Harry get there? Was it a scheduled flight?

Just realised that I was thinking of Bradley Walsh.

Unfortunately these are the people that the social media generation look to and they exert a huge influence.
