Boris Johnson and his pregnant wife Carrie last night enjoyed a romantic stroll along Rome’s iconic Spanish Steps ahead of the G20 summit today.
The Prime Minister with his spouse went out for a night before Mr Johnson was expected to rally support for COP26 at the summit on Saturday.
Before the start of the climate conference, the Prime Minister enjoyed some sightseeing in Rome. He walked the famous Spanish Steps last night with Carrie before taking a tour of the Colosseum today.
Mr Johnson warned world leaders ‘the future of civilisation is at stake’ and compared climate change to the fall of the Roman Empire as he arrived in Rome for the G20 summit on Friday.
His apocalyptic vision of the future, which comes as he desperately tried to build momentum ahead of the COP26 summit next week, claimed society could return to the dark ages with ‘terrifying’ speed.
Johnson warned that future generations could fall into illiteracy, and even suggested that cows could shrink.
He claimed that civilisation lost the ability to draw properly after the fall of Rome. Accordingly, ‘our children’, ‘our grandchildren’, and ‘our great grandchildren’ could be facing food and water shortages.

Johnson described the tragedy of Roman Empire in a lengthy description. He said that things can go forwards and backwards.
“If we don’t get climate change under control, we could see our civilisation, and our world, go backwards, and we could leave future generations with a life far less pleasant than ours.”

Johnson said that humanity became less literate after the Roman civilisation.
“If you are unsure of my assertion, I suggest that you look at the evidence of fall and decline of the Roman Empire. People lost the ability of reading and writing, the ability of drawing properly, and the ability of building in the same way the Romans did.
