Greta takes eco-friendly rail journey

ECO-WARRIOR Greta Thunberg takes a call at London’s Euston Station before jumping on the train to Glasgow yesterday – where she was greeted by crowds of supporters ahead of today’s COP26 summit.

The 18-year-old Swedish activist chose the environmentally friendly way to travel to the climate talks, where she is due to join activists at the city’s Kelvingrove Park for a march through the streets.

Ahead of the summit, Ocean Rebellion wheeled a large sculptural bottom-trawling fishing boat, pushed by performers and trailing deep-sea fishing nets, to the river Clyde in a last-minute plea to world leaders to keep the ocean alive.

Meanwhile, gloomy Boris Johnson has admitted he has a “six out of 10” chance of success at the summit.

Despite pledging to “keep 1.5 alive” – limiting global temperature rises to 1.5C – the Prime Minister admitted there’s “no chance” of that being achieved this year.

More than 120 world leaders are among 25,000 delegates from 196 nations descending on COP26.

A glittering opening ceremony will see speeches from Mr Johnson, Prince Charles and Sir David Attenborough – followed by a royal reception with a video message from the Queen.

A film written by an eight-year-old Blue Peter viewer, imagining a future without animals, will also be shown.

The PM said: “COP26 will be the world’s moment of truth.”
