Cop 26: Do you think we’ll get overtime?
Cop25: Yep
Cop 26: No nutters so far then?
Cop25: Just tree huggers and Greta Thunberg groupies
Cop26: She talks a lot of sense that one
Cop25: But to be fair, if Glasgow was 1.5 degrees warmer I wouldn’t complain
Cop26: That’s the average rise for the entire planet. Glasgow could be colder.
Cop25: Who knew?
Cop26: Well, loads of climate scientists for a start. They have been warning governments for over 30 years that action was needed to avert a global crisis.
Cop 25: That CO2 has got a lot to answer for. I’m getting a vertical take-off drone car for Christmas.
Cop26: That’ll help
