#Cop26 - the 2nd opening Ceremony is now underway.
#cop26 Opening Ceremony Part 2
@POTUS @JoeBiden is here now. A hush came over the room as all eyes turned toward him, @EmmanuelMacron came up to say hi.
UK PM @BorisJohnson kicks off the speechifying with a James Bond metaphor, utilizing the words climax and doomsday clocks. @JoeBiden can be seen in this picture watching him on the left.
Boris’s speech was really quite, odd. And not just the James Bond bit.
Fortunately we now have messages from Earth To COP from daughters of Samoa and a Brazil.
UNSG @AntonioGuterres was ok. I expect Prince Charles speech however will not get good reviews. For its war metaphors and undue emphasis on the private sector, who are of course needed, but not well married to war.
Next up the perfect antidote to all this David @AttenboroughSir.
Here’s two longer clips of @AttenboroughSir 1/2
