That's an average of 200 bureaucrats and scientist per country; I sincerely hope they all have a good plan, but have absolutely no illusions about the outcome!
Sure, I believe global warming is for real and is placing our planet at risk, but I'm not necessarily confident that this army of attendees knows how to tackle the issue.
The 2010 international agreement had formalized 2°C (3.6 F) as the target maximum global temperature rise by 2100, a level most scientists thought might mitigate the catastrophic effects of global warming. As a comparison, today's temperatures have already risen about 1°C above pre-industrial levels, and if nothing is done, they'll top 5°C (9 F), instead of the 2°C goal of that 2010 agreement.
The reality though, is that commitments submitted so far by most countries, including the U.S. and China fall significantly short of that threshold, so don't expect miracles out of the Paris junket. If you read all the reports on the subject, you'll find one set of measure conspicuously absent, which in fact is the cause of the whole mess we're in: overpopulation.
Evidently, the conference draft agreement does not address population control. Once more, we're applying a band-aid over the wound. Rightfully so, serious ecologists and Malthusians are complaining that insufficient means are being injected into over-fertile countries to help them get rid of their population problem.
Finally, even if the Catholic Church support that something should be done about climate change, the pope still openly rejects population control in his encyclical declaration. So guys and girls, no matter which way we look at it, human life on this planet is now headed for some very rough times before it goes extinct.
I simply hope that the 40,000 delegate will have a fun week in Paris at their taxpayers' expense...
