Hear, hear... 

One of the sub-murmurs that went around at the time of the 1992 Rio Earth
Summit was speculation about just how much fossil fuel burning the event
added to the unsustainability it wanted to put a stop to... and how much of
that came down to the 'GRINGO' (green rich non governmental organisation)
lobbyists who were in there stalking the corridors of power in the attempt
to get a reasonably constructive outcome...
