Commitments made at the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland, could directly affect our daily lives COP26BBC

The UK is hosting a summit that is seen as crucial if climate change is to be brought under control.

Extreme weather events linked to climate change - including heatwaves, floods and forest fires - are intensifying. The past decade was the warmest on record, and governments agree urgent collective action is needed.They all agreed in 2015 to make changes to keep global warming "well below" 2C above pre-industrial levels - and to try aim for 1.5C - so that we avoid a climate catastrophe., and it means countries have to keep making bigger emissions cuts until reaching net zero in 2050.

Many observers will be watching how quickly China - and other major fossil fuel producers - will be willing to reduce their reliance on them.For example, it could change whether you drive a petrol car,COP stands for Conference of the Parties.

The rich and shameful planing to mug every working family on the planet because the planet is doing something it has done for MILLIONS of years.🙄

Eyes wide shut COP26 delegates, arrive in gas guzzling jets, pampered by the millions, through TAXES! Just good words! No LONG term objectives in place! Dodgy landlords making people homeless, charge £600 per week! END GAME When everyone else, will be waking up DEAD!

Am I the only one that thinks this summit is wrong? The whole world is fcuked from covid, freedoms stripped away by digital control and our children's lives set to be ruined. This is the immediate problem that needs fixing by these corrupt leaders.

Day 75 still UK Silence about British citizen trapped in Afghanistan with their families under uncivilized regime. We fights for our lives and our rights. Today me and my wife very sick, hungry, we haven’t eat for 2 days. My wife is pregnant.

Yep. Higher Bills.

Per capita the Saudis are right up there among the worst polluters. Or to put it another way, the carbon death of planet Earth is NUFC's fault.

Brexit costs more than COVID and more than Climate change. Brexit is shit. Leave voters are so thick they make George Bush look like a genius.

Escape from Victory...

good luck

Think the overpopulation of our species is central to the problem. Think our numbers are out of balance with the size of the planet, it's ecosystems and other species.

A waste of time I would think

But it won't affect 'their' lives, just ours, the little people.

Could but won't.

Faith groups and pilgrims lead Glasgow COP26 climate protestsThousands of activists head to Glasgow to make their climate change concerns known. To avoid more bloodbaths, understand that there never was and never will be a freedom of religion. Christian nations seem more tolerant than other nations only because they know tolerance is the best hiding place for intolerance. The Earth sees the human as a virus and it will do it’s utmost to protect itself 😁. I was going to comment, but decided what I really want to say would be taken the wrong way.
