Many young people calling for #ClimateActionNow felt like they didn't have a voice at #COP26Glasgow -- but there was one place where they ran the show: the Panamanian delegation. @MrDanZak captures what it was like for them to fight, from the inside: https://t.co/xFyXxl0vRf — PolitiTweet.org

Amid all the #COP26 talk about historical contributions to climate change, its worth noting that half of all human-driven CO2 emissions have taken place since 1991, w/ 15 percent of America's in the past decade. @pbump breaks down the cost of dithering: https://t.co/qV3N3J1EWg — PolitiTweet.org

At #COP26 'delegates from around the world have praised the United States and condemned the United States, but one thing they could not do was ignore the United States.' @StevenMufson @michaelbirnbaum on what it means for America to reengage on #climate https://t.co/q2Q0E0Ea7D — PolitiTweet.org

1/ I am filled with gratitude towards my colleagues who have spent the past two weeks -- and long before that -- working around the clock to ensure @washingtonpost covered #cop26 with depth and creativity. It starts with the #Glasgow - some of whom are shockingly, still awake. — PolitiTweet.org

It came close, but I don’t think I’ve witnessed a moment that matches the intensity of Kevin Conrad’s speech in 2007. — PolitiTweet.org

Juliet Eilperin @eilperin

Delegates at #COP26 just adopted an agreement that goes further in terms of #ClimateAction than any other UN summit - but still falls short of what scientists say must be done to avert catastrophic warming. Read @brady_dennis and @sarahkaplan48 #Glasgow https://t.co/9hzksGqr2O — PolitiTweet.org

1/ #COP26 President Alok Sharma gets visibly upset as he explains why the conference must accept a proposal further weakening language on fossil fuels, saying that while he understands delegates' disappointment, "It is also vital that we protect this package." The room applauds. — PolitiTweet.org

"This will not bring us closer to 1.5, but make it more difficult." Switzerland's representative blasts the last-minute change to say the world will "phase down" rather than "phase out" fossil fuels, in the #COP26Glasgow text. Both India and China spoke on behalf of the change. — PolitiTweet.org

'Colleagues, we were due to start an hour ago," Sharma reminds other #COP26 delegates, before politely urging them to take their seats (noting that he's 'disturbing one or two discussions' by doing that). — PolitiTweet.org

Juliet Eilperin @eilperin

Apparently #COP26 operates on a different time scale, as evidenced by not only the extended deadline, but the fact that its president Alok Sharma declared that the plenary debate would start in 'one minute' -- several minutes ago. CC @brady_dennis @LFFriedman @sarahkaplan48 — PolitiTweet.org
