It’s well known that all good Silicon Valley billionaires these days have one issue that is firmly at the top of their agenda. So it’s no surprise that when the owners of the tech behemoth Google hosted their seventh ‘Google Camp’ – a private, three day conference for the rich and famous on the southwest coast of Sicily – they chose climate change as the theme for their party.
While the guest-list for the event remains a closely-guarded secret, it’s been reported that pretty much every member of the elite who is committed to tackling climate change – and used to lecturing other people about their carbon footprint – is in attendance. Barack Obama, Orlando Bloom and Leonardo DiCaprio are said to have made it to the party, and even the UK’s own Prince Harry was reported to have given a speech for the 300 guests.
