COP26: UK proposes new date for delayed climate change summit

But with countries around the world grappling with coronavirus, and many putting citizens in lockdown, governments have prioritised the immediate global health crisis.

Since the pandemic took hold, greenhouse gas emissions have dropped sharply as industry and transport have been curtailed, but experts have warned that pollution will soon bounce back without climate action.

Richard Black, director of the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit , said:"The UK's proposed new dates for COP26 probably make sense given the realities of how Covid-19 is unfolding across the world, but what will surprise some is that despite saying 'ambition must continue', the proposal doesn't specify sticking to the schedule of the Paris Agreement.

"Governments specifically committed in the Paris Agreement to deliver enhanced carbon-cutting pledges, long-term decarbonisation strategies and 100 billion US dollars per year in financial assistance 'by 2020', not 'by COP26', and that remains the ambition of the poorest and most vulnerable nations; so we'll see if this omission in the UK proposal becomes a bone of contention during this week's discussions.

If the bat bug doesn’t get you the phone climate ‘emergency’ will. Business as usual for the BBC. Personally I’ll wait for the coming alien invasion.

Climate change is a hoax. Trump said so.

We have already a recession induced by overreacting to a real problem. We don’t need another one due to a non-problem. ClimateChange GlobalWarming

An event where 1000's of the worlds rich & powerful. Fly from all over the world, some in private jets. To discuss how to make the poor change their ways & pay for it.

Cool

Lets see, mass unemployment and massive disruption in global travel is wreaking havoc on the global economy but your focus is on what again?

Covid-19 already has appeared to have greatly reduced our carbon footprint.

Just cancel it, it is all made up bullshit anyway. ClimateHoax
