I’ll be getting up early for this summit... which starts at 6am MT. The world leaders will talk in alphabetical order, based on their country. Yes, I wanna see what Australia has to say. No, I don’t know what’s wrong with me. theglobeandmail.com/business/artic… #cdnpoli

Well now this isn’t the leaders talking in alphabetical order at the climate summit at all! So far we’ve had USA, China, India, now UK. It’s a true international journey (that I cannot physically go 😷☹️). I suppose I’ve been all these places already BUT STILL. #cdnpoli

Tell you what tho this is quite the background behind Boris Johnson. Very arty.

What’s interesting is how countries identify different years as their base-level for GHG emission reductions. Canada is 2005 levels, Japan 2013, UK 1990. Bit of a wild mix, eh? #cdnpoli #LeadersClimateSummit

Now to Trudeau, who is the closest to the camera yet. He says while the priority is on fighting covid19 right now, climate science tells us we’re also fighting a crisis now #cdnpoli #LeadersClimateSummit

Trudeau says Canada will reduce emissions by 40-45%. That’s up from the initial 30% goal. #cdnpoli #LeadersClimateSummit
