Climate Change : COP26 Summit Opens In Glasgow

The 26th Climate Change Summit popularly known as COP26 has kicked-off in Glasgow (Scotland) yesterday, November 1, 2021 with the host President, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson warning that the world is facing an ecological “doomsday device”. The British PM likened an ever-warming Earth’s position to that of fictional secret agent James Bond strapped to a bomb that will destroy the planet and trying to work out how to defuse it.  
He added that the threat of climate change is triggered by the burning of coal, oil and natural gas and called for the end of coal-fired power plants and gasoline-powered cars along with a huge influx of cash from rich nations to poor countries to help them switch to greener economies. While reiterating that humanity had run down the clock when it comes to climate change, and the time for action is now, the host President pointed out that the more than 130 world leaders present at the Summit have an average age of over 60, while the generations most harmed by climate change aren't yet born. The UN Secretary-General António Guterres on his part told participants that, “We are digging our own graves, while our planet is changing before our eyes from the ocean depths to mountaintops, from melting glaciers to relentless extreme weather events.” He lamented.
