COPS 26

Summary from BBC News:

Quote:

Opening the COP26 summit, Boris Johnson says that the children who will judge leaders for failing to act "are not yet born" The UK leader says he wants countries to end the use of coal, phase out petrol-powered cars, and reverse deforestation Following him, David Attenborough says the future of young people should provide impetus to "turn tragedy into triumph" More than 120 leaders are in Glasgow - and they will later outline their climate commitments Major polluters including China, India, Australia and Brazil are in the spotlight The goal is to keep warming limited to 1.5C, or at worst 2C, by 2100 but we are on track for 2.7C - which the UN says would result in "climate catastrophe"

Watching this, Boris Johnson's speech sounded disjointed and a little unconvincing. Prince Charles' was surprisingly good, none of his usual stuttering and bluster but head and shoulders better than Johnson's.

David Attenborough: absolutely brilliant - no empty rhetoric there. Really put his point across.
