As always he knows exactly what he's doing. Given that he's had to alienate a large amount of his populist base by making speeches in favour of radical climate action, he's now acting like he doesn't really care. I can hear the voices in Wetherspoons now: "Ah he's alright Boris, he gets it, he had to make all those speeches for the media but you can tell he thinks it's all bollocks".

its not false, its based the standard of counting output within the country's geography. the claim is that we dont count the overseas emission from goods produced there. quite right, because that emissions happened there. there are metrics that count in that way instead if you look for it. a second claim, is that because we have UK based finance and insurance involved in overseas emissions, that should count against our emissions. this is just self-flagulation.

An ex of mine did a PhD in something to do with climate and ecology. I got talking to one of her professors at some event - bear in mind this was about 20 years ago - and he said many in his field believed we had already passed the point where mass migration and food shortages caused by climate change were inevitable, so that needed to be the primary focus of international effort, and reducing emissions was clearly important but secondary to the direct human challenges that could still be mitigated if action was taken early enough. It's interesting (to me at least) that this work to prepare for the direct impact on people is the second stated goal of Cop26 but didn't seem to be much of a focus at Cop25 in 2019.

I think we've all sat in long meetings and can identify with that.

Happy for this one to get a go at the Amex on Saturday too. Great opportunity in front of the Sky cameras.
Seems that the most effective way of reducing carbon emissions is population reduction. Line up, line up......!

Until there is a financially viable alternative to anything that harms the environment, wind pissing will carry on.
I reckon most people would go for electric cars, solar panels, wind generators and other forms of non pollutants, if the initial outlay wasn't so restrictive. As for boycotting countries who continue to ignore the planets health, once again it comes down to finances.

COP26? What the feck have they been doing in the previous 25 meetings?!
We have the technology to reduce pollution but humans are too selfish, apathetic and generally distracted by other less important things. It's quite pathetic to watch it unfold - it's like trying to hold back a tsunami with a sandbag.

Good God. Get that fake crap out of here haha talk about conspiracy. 99% of the worlds scientists agree that climate change caused by human interference is REAL.

Reckon climate events that disrupt food and water availability have the population issue covered.
Johnson, as usual making a lot of noise and show-boating as if it’s his idea and as if he’s the first person to rally for climate change. While doing nothing of any substance to actually help. I’m so sick of that useless ****ing blob.

And when he is on the stage with other leaders he shuffles from foot to foot with that gormless look on his face, totally embarrassing but not as embarrassing as his suits, I thought C&A closed years ago.
