World Climate Summit

The Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, has reluctantly agreed to attend the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP26, in Glasgow next week.

He had stated that he would not be attending, but it seems he was shamed into going, perhaps by the statement of the Queen. see https://www.sbs.com.au/news/the-quee...1-112ac374c247

I hope he is further shamed at the conference over his attitude and speech to the Australian Parliament a few years ago, when he was treasurer, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea5bOaPkZpc

Scott Morrison aside, I really think Greta summed up the conference with her "blah blah blah' statement..

Thanks for that, yes Greta has hit the nail on the head, see https://www.theguardian.com/environm...-co2-emissions

Quote:
Carbon emissions are on track to rise by 16% by 2030, according to the UN, rather than fall by half, which is the cut needed to keep global heating under the internationally agreed limit of 1.5C.
Build back better. Blah, blah, blah. Green economy. Blah blah blah. Net zero by 2050. Blah, blah, blah,” she said in a speech to the Youth4Climate summit in Milan, Italy, on Tuesday. “This is all we hear from our so-called leaders. Words that sound great but so far have not led to action. Our hopes and ambitions drown in their empty promises.”

Well Scott Morrison that duplicitous Prime Minister of Australia who spent hundreds of thousands of Australian taxpayers money flying the former Australian Finance Minister around the world to lobby heads of governments to have his own man elected as the head of the OECD, to protect Australia's interests in any future discussions regarding coal production, has just fallen on his face. Yes Mathias Cormann did get elected as the head of the OECD but now free from the shackles of Morrison, has changed his tune and is now asking Australia to adopt a carbon pricing scheme, something he threw out when a Minister in the Australian government. see https://www.theguardian.com/australi...a-to-adopt-one

Scotty is taking taking his 'yes man' Angus Taylor, a failed businessman and now Minister for Industry, Energy and Emissions Reduction to Glasgow. Mr Taylor, a former climate change denier and opponent of wind farms, is going along to advocate for the use of Australian 'clean' coal. It will be interesting to see him being howled down by the more educated in attendance.

Quote:
Angus Taylor has declared he will use a major climate summit in Glasgow to promote Australia as a good place to invest in fossil fuel projects.
The emissions reduction minister said on Thursday he would attend the first week of the fortnight-long talks, known as Cop26, with a message that Australia was a “safe and reliable destination to invest in gas, hydrogen and new energy technologies”.
