Well looks like my thread at 1pm wishing the plenary well was premature! I’ve had time to take the dog for a long walk and get back and the plenary still hasn’t started - although is imminent so another thread #COP26 #EdinUniCOP26 1/n

Yes we’ve reached the stage of not being able to hear but being able to see- the COP President wanted to start the plenary but people wouldn’t sit down! 8/n

Which generating some fairly amusing guessing games (if the stakes were not so serious ) about who is huddling and why 9/ here and here

@e3g gives another explainer on what is in the new texts from earlier 11/n

@dpcarrington explains what ‘loss and damage’ is and why it is crucial now to the success of the talks 12/n theguardian.com/environment/20…

So,I’m not sure whether the delays are good (almost got an agreement-can meet in plenary and gavel and go home) or a bad sign (fundamental disagreement,talks about to collapse)- presumably the issue is funding for climate finance,adaptation, loss and damage-fingers crossed 13/n
