Officials from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change attributed the delays to “a capacity problem.” When the conference center reached its legal capacity of 15,000, the Danish police refused to admit more people until others left, said John Hay, a spokesman.

Yet the United Nations has allowed 45,000 people to register. “Up to now, we’ve allowed everyone to participate who wants to and who has a legitimate stake in climate change,” Mr. Hay said. That includes big delegations from universities and trade unions, as well as 3,500 journalists.

Wow, they can't figure out that over 45,000 people can't fit into a conference center that only holds 15,000 people.
Let's put them in charge of deciding climate policy. <yes, that was sarcasm>

I wonder if their computer models said it would work?

Where did they park all the Limos and did they leave the engines running?

Maybe they parked them next to the jets they flew in on.
