COP15 VIPs in violation

I read a couple of articles this morning talking about the environmentally irresponsible behavior of the VIPs attending the conference in Copenhagen this week.

- More private planes than the city's airport can handle.

- Over a thousand limos needed, hundreds of which had to be driven hundreds of miles from Germany and Sweden because Denmark doesn't have enough.

- And to top that off, I read that the extra special, shiny new, climate friendly, COP15 Shuttle buses were rolling around the city empty, except for the drivers, of course.

Is it "elitist hypocrisy"? VIPs (famous actors, politicians, etc.) just needing to be seen, regardless the cost?

Why not tele-/video-conference from home? I hear that we have the technology for that now.
