Donald Trump mocked Joe Biden, 78-year-old former President, for briefly dozing off Monday before his speech at UN Climate Change Conference (COP26), Glasgow on Monday.
After seeing photos of Biden snoozing, Trump joked that even Biden couldn’t bear hearing so much about the Global Warming Hoax.
‘… was closely followed by Russia, Russia and Russia, Ukraine. Ukraine, Ukraine. Impeachment Hoax #1 & #2, and, ofcourse, the “No Collusion” finding in the Mueller Report.
‘Biden went on a trip to Europe, declaring that Global Warming is a top priority. Then, he fell asleep at the Conference. True enthusiasm and belief in a subject is never lost!
Trump’s remarks came after his political staff announced that he was holding an online rally for Glenn Youngkin (the Republican nominee) on the day before Virginia’s election.
As one speaker stressed the importance of acting to save the climate, the president appeared to be snoring.
Donald Trump, 75, a former president of the United States, blasted President Biden, accusing him of falling asleep at the COP26 international Climate Change conference. This suggests that Biden’s successor doesn’t care about the issue.

President Biden is the oldest person ever to assume the presidency. Eddie Ndopu, a disabled activist, highlighted the importance to take action to save the environment in a prerecorded message.
He opened his eyes, appeared to be lightening up, as an aide approached him to have a chat.
Biden quickly sat forward, rubbed both his eyes, and watched as the prime minister of Italy took the stage. This latest slip by the president occurred just hours after he returned to his pre-approved list when he asked questions at the conclusion of the G20 summit in Rome.
Critics have scrutinized the fitness of the 78-year old Biden for the job and his declining poll numbers. He has also been under pressure from his administration due to the mounting crises he is facing.
When an aide approached him to chat, he opened his eyes and seemed to be more awake.
As President Biden’s whirlwind European tour seems to be catching up to him, the 78-year old was captured resting his eyes during the opening remarks at the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow.
He has not released a health report since 2019, and Jen Psaki deflected questions regarding his health and coughing during speeches.
Biden took to the stage later to give his own warning about the impending doom caused by climate change.
He stated that climate change was already ravaging the planet. It’s not possible.
The president called climate change “the existential threat to humanity as we know it.”
Biden said, “This is an important decade in which there is an opportunity to prove ourself,” ‘We can keep the goal of limiting global warming to just 1.5° C if we come together.’
‘We’re still falling short. We don’t have time to sit back, argue with each other or stand on the fence any longer. This is a challenge that will be faced over our collective lifetimes. ‘Glasgow must be the kick-off of a decade of ambition & innovation to preserve our shared future.’
In a separate speech at conference, the president took aim at Donald Trump. Biden spoke out about Trump’s decision to withdraw the USA from the Paris Climate Agreement, saying that while he shouldn’t apologize, he does.
Biden ended his speech by saying, “God bless all of you and may God save the earth.”
Although speakers were limited to three minutes, Biden’s remarks lasted more than 11 minutes.
At the beginning of the speech, a digital countdown began from three minutes. After each minute, a chime sounded. During Biden’s remarks, the chime went off eight more times.

Boris Johnson warned COP26 attendees that the longer it takes for climate change to be addressed, the higher the price will be when a catastrophe’ forces world leadership to act.
Johnson said that the world was in a similar position to James Bond as he attempts to deactivate the doomsday device in one of his films. Johnson said that the tragedy was that this is not a movie, and that the doomsday devices are real.
Greta Thunberg used a phrase to warn that the Paris Agreement promises to limit global temperature increases would be ‘nothing except blahblahblah’ and that the world’s anger will be uncontained unless Cop26 is the moment they get real about climate change.
Thunberg recently criticised Britain and other countries for “empty words, promises”, accusing them of giving too much blahblahblah instead of taking any action.
Thunberg spoke at the climate demonstration near the summit.
‘No more blah blah blah, no more whatever the f*** they are doing inside there,’ she said at Festival Park, Glasgow on Monday.
“Inside Cop”, there are only politicians and people in power pretending that they take our future seriously and pretending to be taking the present seriously. There is no leadership, and there is no change from within.
Biden arrived in Scotland Monday morning and immediately climbed into his massive motorcade to travel to the climate summit. He plans to highlight American leadership in tackling carbon emissions after spending the weekend in Rome, where he met with Pope Francis and other leaders.
After taking the short trip from Rome in Air Force One (a modified 747), his gas-guzzling convoy, which included more than 20 vehicles, will be subject to new criticisms of hypocrisy.
At the G20 Rome, he used a 85-vehicle convoy that included vans for officials, secret services, journalists and ambulances, as well as communications systems and communications systems.
Boris Johnson, the British prime minister, and U.S. secretary general Antonio Guterres welcomed him to the conference center. The leaders exchanged warm smiles and elbow bumps.
The presidents of key polluters Russia and China are not attending the talks and India has said it will not be changing its reliance on coal any time soon.
Today, Biden will release a detailed plan to reduce carbon emissions by half by the end of this decade, as compared to 2005 levels.
He also plans to launch a $3 billion-per-year scheme to support developing countries in adapting to climate change.
His national security advisor used the suggestions to challenge other nations.
Jake Sullivan, a passenger on Air Force One en route towards Edinburgh, stated that “So the US is stepping in to do its bit key.”
Allies of the USA, Japan, Korea, Canada, and the European Union are doing their part.
“And now, the question is: Will some other countries step up and do theirs?”
Biden arrived in Rome from the G20 summit, where he praised America’s’showing up’ power.
“What we’ve witnessed again here in Rome was what I think is America’s power showing up and working alongside our allies to make progress in matters that matter to all of US,” he said. He added that allies needed ‘American leadership to get things done.
Biden once again used a list of pre-approved reporters to hold a press conference at the conclusion the G20 summit in Rome.

President Biden’s motorcade blazed through the Central Belt of Scotland, from Edinburgh Airport to Glasgow, Monday
It included more than 20 vehicles plus police outriders. However, it was still small in comparison to the 85 vehicles he used at Rome.
Biden’s six day trip to Europe will release around two million pounds worth of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
After a short hop from Rome and a brief flight to Edinburgh, President Biden arrived at Edinburgh Airport Monday morning. He was on his way to Glasgow, Scotland for the COP 26 climate summit.
Air Force arrived in Scotland on Monday morning. Biden has been criticised for the amount carbon emitted during his Europe trip by his fleet of cars and aircraft.
Biden was joined by other key world leaders by environmental campaigners dressed in kilts in Glasgow as they marked the start of Cop26 in the city.
As he opened the floor to questions at the beginning, the president seemed pre-planned to use a list of correspondents as he called them.
“And now, I’m willing to answer some questions. Biden stated that he was told to start with AP, Zeke Miller.
The Associated Press is the preferred pecking order for administration.
Biden claimed that other leaders sought him as he responded to a question about his ability to lead amid falling poll numbers at home.
Biden stated that the United States of America was the most important part of this agenda and that they did it.
Skeptics claim that there were not enough concrete measures to limit the world’s temperature rise to 1.5 C above preindustrial levels, which was the target set by the Paris climate summit in 2015.
Biden’s Build Back Better agenda included key clean energy pledges. This was the price he paid to win over his party’s huge $3.5 trillion loss.
The Supreme Court could still strip his administration of additional powers to limit emissions.
Then there’s the awkward matter his travel arrangements.
His trip to Europe will release 2.2 million pounds carbon.
The enormous carbon footprint is made up of 2.16 million pounds carbon dioxide from the four large planes that make up his airborne entourage during the trip to Italy, Scotland, and where the president will speak at COP26 in Glasgow. The remainder is emitted by Biden’s cars.
His fleet includes the heavily modified Boeing 747, which he calls Air Force One when he is on board, an identical decoy and two massive C-17 Globemaster aircrafts that carry his battalion.
Biden’s climate adviser Gina McCarthy stated that reporters should expect to hear more on American leadership.
He stated that the president and dozens of cabinet members who will be in Glasgow over two weeks will send a message to the public: the United States is back at its table, the United States is back, and they are back hoping to rally the world around the climate crisis.
She said that the U.S. would publish a plan to show that it can reduce its carbon emissions by half from 2005 levels by 2023, in order to achieve its net-zero goal of 2050.
She said, “It shows how the U.S. can meet its global climate commitments within three decades by decarbonizing power sector, electrifying transport and buildings, transforming industries, reducing nonCO2 emissions and reinvigorating natural lands.”
John Kerry, special climate envoy, also rebutted criticisms that COP 26 was not getting off to a good start. There was little progress on the Rome 1.5C target.
He said that countries representing 65 percent or more of the world’s GDP were willing to support the effort.
He stated, “Obviously, if you have at least 65% in, you get 35% out, and that’s what’s coming out of Glasgow.”
“Can these countries step up?” What will they do to make a difference? What are their promises to do in the coming years?
Boris Johnson (British prime minister) was the Summit host and lambasted G20 leaders Sunday, claiming only 12 of them had promised concrete action to reach net zero emissions by 2020.
According to speech excerpts released to his office, he is expected say, “Humanity long since runs down the clock on Climate Change,” during Monday’s session’s opening.
“It’s only one minute until midnight, and we must act immediately.”
