“All those promises will be nothing but ‘blah blah blah,’ to coin a phrase, and the anger and the impatience of the world will be uncontainable unless we make this COP26 in Glasgow the moment we get real about climate change, and we can,” Johnson said in his opening speech.

He says it will be too late for our children tomorrow if the world does not act now.

Johnson will open the event by calling on world leaders to keep warming to below 1.5 degrees saying “humanity has long since run down the clock on climate change”.

“It’s one minute to midnight and we need to act now,” Johnson will say.

“If we don’t get serious about climate change today, it will be too late for our children to do so tomorrow.”
