Cop26 president: IPCC report is 'wake-up call for the world'

The president of the upcoming Cop26 climate summit in Glasgow on Monday described the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report as a 'wake-up call' for the world. Alok Sharma urged leaders to do more so they can 'credibly say that we have kept 1.5 degrees alive'. The report, which calls climate change clearly human-caused and 'unequivocal' and 'an established fact,' makes more precise and warmer forecasts for the 21st century than were made in the last report in 2013.

Said the person that went to 30 countries by flight In 6months including 6 red countries in which his own government advised against going to. Hypocrisy at its finest !

[pepz]

Total bs when a thief calls out a thief

[ssjm]

These people do not care about me and you, all they care for is control which is easily obtained through fear

[latexrope]

He might have a shred of credibility if he hadn't flown to 30 countries in the last 6 months.

Human activity.... You mean government and big business???? Those human activities? Of the ruthless wealthy 1%

[billie]

You had to travel the world to get this report out. Your the climate problem.. and who are you again?? Unelected ? Yes I thought so..

[KingAnnihilator]

Yea if you think these oil companies and governments are going to change you’re a joker

[houmm]

Seriously, this is the guy we're putting up front? Our top man. 😞

[lamarrwilliams]

He could have made a better effort to remember his script.

[alanmckay]

Whenever somebody says it's unequivocal and an established fact you know it is neither.

[journeyintococo]

We've been fed the same BS every year for 50 years.

The guy that flew to 30 countries in lockdown with several on red list and no quarantine
Wonder he can talk for all those plumbs he is eating

[professional_cynic]

Alok seemed like the type of kid who only had a clue when the teacher explained the point 5 mins before hand….. need to get the muck out of Downing Street

[danzel]

And yet the Tories won't block the development of a controversial new oilfield in the North Sea.

[jameswebb]

Is this the man who flew to 30 countries in the past 6 months? 6 of those that were in the red zone, including Nepal and India where COVID was rife, and oh yes, of course - didn’t have to self isolate once.

[stopthetories]

Hollow words from an MP who consistently voted against measures to prevent climate change.

[johnsargeant]

china has been building two new coal fired power stations a month for the past 25 years.

[taylors]

Most planes grounded, cars stood still for a year or more and it made zero difference to climate change…

[thomasmurphy]

Irresponsible fear mongering like this is causing the biggest threat to our future.

Alok Sherma; Another dodgy character of Tory cabinet.
