COP 26

Does anyone know how long did it took her to walk/swim/row to Glasgow? Because, I'm sure she'd not fly over just to stand there and sing childish chants.

Got the train up from Euston but how she got there, I don't know.

Innerestingly, Boris is being lambasted for flying down from Glasgow to London when the conference ends because he doesn't have time to sit on a train for 4.5 hours. I'd love to know when a train between Glasgow and London has ever taken anything less than 5 hours, more often it takes longer.

All these agreements had already been agreed in advance - couldn't they have signed this off on zoom or offline without 20,000 people travelling to a location from all over the world?
Just asking.

you can't underestimate the amount of stuff that happens due to chats over coffee, etc. It's like the Olympics, there's an atmosphere as well as the actual tangible stuff.

and even joe biden fell asleep

How is that different to any other day? He's a very old man

You know there are trains/buses in Europe? Or she could have got a lift in an EV. You do make yourself look a little silly in your attempts to insult a child.

Is that why Boris has to fly back to London?

To prevent him having another love child? As actually Western humans are more environmentally unfriendly than a few flights.

Good to see the EPC rating of the venues is an F.

The SEC Armadillo in Glasgow has been graded F by inspectors, who said its owners should consider installing renewable energy sources as well as new insulation and lighting in order to curb its carbon footprint.

The SEC Centre, the sprawling conference venue which will form the epicentre of negotiations, also has an energy performance certificate (EPC) rating of F. Assessors told its owners in 2012 they should consider investigating the use of low and zero carbon technologies.



Nine years on, neither it nor any of the other SEC properties have renewable energy sources installed. Cumulatively, the venues, chosen by the UK government for the summit, along with Glasgow Science Centre, are pumping around 6,659 tonnes of CO2 a year into the atmosphere.

7 tonnes is the average for a UK person.

You know those emit emissions too? Point still stands - travelling thousands of miles to sign childish songs about climate change is hypocritical.

Or she could have got a lift in an EV.

If that happened, do you not think her puppeteers would not have ensured it was all over the media?

You do make yourself look a little silly in your attempts to insult a child.

A child? She's nearly 19 years old. You do make yourself look a little silly.

Look at this maskless goon.

He looks like he's had a stroke.

So expending any energy to encourage green issues is inherently hypocritical? We all know you're trolling, but it's about net gains.

No, not what i said. Expending energy to sing silly chants against the conference is inherently hypocritical.

I've no doubt she means well - but she's not that greeting kid that caught the media attention a few years back and needs to positively influence things.
