COP26 president acknowledges disappointment over coal compromise

The world has a new roadmap to limit global warming, but last-minute moves weakened the final deal. Caryn Ceolin with reaction to the Glasgow climate pact, as the host nation reflects on COP26.

I didn't really follow COP26 very closely. Did they save the world or are we all going to die?

Meanwhile China is going through coal like me going through fried chicken after drinking all night.

[frustrationsofhumanity]

How are they close down some of their high polluting mega corporations, or next time, jet pool to the next meeting

[mrchips]

Good news for coal Vancouver ports. Coal to the moon!

[robperry]

A severe winter will put all of these chumps on the run.

[johnelliott]

Why would they phase out coal they are building new ones as they speak.

[gtxoiltastebad]

400 jets for something they could've done over zoom ... yup climate emergency LOL

[BudzzableRides]

Maybe Canada should send 400 people next time instead of200 people! Ridiculous amount spent on this liberal vacation!

[georgedavidson]

If. they. want to do something install smoke scrubbers on all the smokestacks.

Meanwhile, China leans back, laughs heartily, and goes right back to pumping out record, world-leading amounts of CO2.

And meanwhile Tarsandia booming .
Alberta's Tarsandia is world's most destructive oil operation.

Hmmm, disappointed by the coal compromise but not disappointed in the amount of pollution this conference caused with hundreds of people flying from around the world, and then the vehicles used there. Do they have a study, model or impact analysis on what damage to the environment that all caused? What about the health impact, how many tested positive and spread covid there? Nah, none of that matters because it is them - they are special and the rest of us are not. Any leader who went to this and supports this should be put on trial, national decisions are to be made in the country, not decided outside by unelected "officials".

Canada has one of the highest CO2 emissions per capita and generates the most waste per capita. Getting tired of Canada's holier than thou attitude saying "they will push for change" when Canada is the one that needs to change.
