Boulder delegation to Copenhagen?

The Camera’s asking folks to weigh in on something BGB readers might be into — should Boulder be sending a delegation to Copenhagen to talk climate?

Presumably, our delegation will fly to Copenhagen via DIA.

This week’s question: On their first day together as a new board of nine elected officials, the Boulder City Council started to tackle the planet’s climate crisis and advocated global nuclear disarmament. The council on Tuesday night unanimously voted to support a two-person delegation heading to Copenhagen, Denmark, next month to attend the United Nations Climate Change Conference of Parties. Boulder is paying an estimated $2,500 for the trip, including airfare and meals. The money will come from the city’s carbon-tax fund. On Monday night, Plan-Boulder County, a group that advocates city policies that preserve the environment, unanimously approved a motion objecting to Boulder’s plans to send the delegation to Denmark, saying the trip sends the wrong message: The flight overseas will cause the very harm to the environment that the city seeks to eliminate. What do you think?
