Out by 3000%. Downer's idiotic tweet., page-50

The tweet was idiotic of course, and the dinosaurs always make this argument about such conferences, so it's not even original.

Still though, I think there should be more effort to move such things online, at least partially. There was no reason e.g. Jeff Bezos had to fly there. All this jetting around the globe, even if it is arguably a means to an improved end, is symbolic of business as usual, and business as usual can't go on if we are to avoid catastrophic tipping points.
