A year ago, over 45,000 people attended the Copenhagen summit -- some US Congressmen went with staff and families (costing US tax-payers $400K).

This year the summit is in Cancun -- a resort town, that's much closer to the US -- but no one from the US government seems attending, not even the strongest advocates of "pro-Earth" legislation, and the total number of visitors is about 1500, a 30-fold reduction.

At the rate, in 2011 there will be only 50 attendees -- where, do you suppose, they'll meet?

And which deity will they be praying to?
