British PM Johnson tells world leaders at the UN that humanity has to “grow up” and tackle climate change, saying humans must stop trashing the planet like a teenager.

Johnson is due to host a major United Nations climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland in six weeks’ time. He is using a trip to the U.N. General Assembly in New York to press governments for tougher emissions-cutting targets and more money to help poor countries clean up their economies.

“If we keep on the current track then the temperatures will go up by 2.7 degrees or more by the end of the century. And never mind what that will do to the ice floes," Johnson said. “We will see desertification, drought, crop failure, and mass movements of humanity on a scale not seen before. Not because of some unforeseen natural event or disaster, but because of us, because of what we are doing now.

“We have come to that fateful age when we know roughly how to drive and we know how to unlock the drinks cabinet and to engage in all sorts of activity that is not only potentially embarrassing but also terminal,” he said. “My friends, the adolescence of humanity is coming to an end,” Johnson, said, adding: “We must come together in a collective coming of age.”

The idea this inflated schoolboy, who built a ‘career’ on lies, can tell anyone to ‘grow up’ would be laughable, if it were not so cynical. SmirkPolitics MoggWash GarbleBritain LaughingStock

Bullshite

I don’t know how he behaved as a teenager, but I didn’t trash the planet

And how well are China and India handling that news?

Tell that to Greta Thunberg Teenagers know more about climate than “adults” who have ruined our planet. It’s up to the all of us to save it.

Wow, even Boris wants to do something

grow up my dear

Actually, it's rich old white men who are trashing the planet. Teenagers are doing just the opposite.

My link my details

虚伪的英国应该自己做出来,而不是伪道学去督促别人为自己做。。。

Actually, UN can't tackle climate change because UN has no regulatory authority in most countries (if not all). And if either Russia or the US 'vetoes' it, then it doesn't happen.

He should have said; The 🌍 needs to battle climate change, like a teenager. GretaThunberg

said right but uk and usa are so hypocrats liers

And Putin and christo fascism

He could start by getting an adult haircut.

Ok. Let’s tax the rich and while we’re at it, take away all their cars and homes and no more Obama style birthday parties. Talk about carbon footprints!

Literally no. Stop trashing the planet like a boomer

After you, Boris.

This guy is a gold-plated, silver-spooned charlatan. There he stands, lecturing the world about environmental responsibility while, at home, he and his ministers are trying to reopen coal mines on the grounds that Brexit has fucked up the domestic energy supply.

Projection.

Start with the bullying big oil companies thrashing national lands and forests and destroying clean drinking water

Greta would be that teenager

Hypocrite.

We are likely to have food shortages due to Brexit, a massive wave of Covid infections coming this winter, gas prices out of control due to the Bullshit we were drowned in to get Brexit. Where is our glorious leader? Hobnobbing at the UN. He should be back here

😂😂😂

Isn't the UK backing away from it's green deals?

Anyone with six kids clearly doesn't give a fuck about environmental impact.

so my child bride keeps telling me.

That is a little rich coming from someone who struggles to dress himself and comb his own hair and his is telling the rest of the world to grow up.
