ROME (AP) — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson arrived in Italy for a Group of 20 meeting on Friday with a stark warning: modern civilization could soon lie in ruins like ancient Rome if world leaders don’t act to curb climate change.
Johnson has one big goal at the G-20 gathering: to persuade the leaders of the world’s biggest economies to put their money where their mouth is at the U.N. climate summit in Scotland that starts Sunday.
Johnson will deploy his ebullience and his — admittedly divisive — charm to try to extract cash and carbon-cutting commitments from the G-20, which contains some of the world’s biggest carbon emitters, including China, the United States, India and Russia.
Johnson told reporters aboard his plane to Rome that the Eternal City’s ruins “are a fantastic reminder, a memento mori to us today … that humanity, civilization, society can go backwards as well as forwards and when things start to go wrong they can go wrong with extraordinary speed.”
Still, he has expressed doubts that the COP26 climate summit will achieve its aim of extracting enough carbon-cutting commitments to keep alive the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels.
Johnson will urge G-20 leaders to act more quickly, saying the world’s rich countries, which grew wealthy from using the fossil fuels that warm up the Earth, must bear the brunt of fighting climate change.

Out of control government is the greatest threat to civilization today.
If Margaret Thatcher were here today, she’d be telling us that civilization is at risk.
But not because of climate change.
Thatcher was a serious person.
Johnson Claims Modern Civilisation Is at Risk over Climate Change
CO2 is a GOOD gas, not a bad one. We could use more. It’s important to note that both Mars and Venus have almost exactly the same percentage of CO2 in their atmosphere’s. The reason one is so hot and one is so cold is not because of proximity to the sun. It is because of atmospheric density. Our atmosphere is nowhere near that dense and never will be.
Boris is drunk on kool-aid - nothing new
There has to be some correlation between Co2 and population to sustain growing things that use Co2. More people = More Co2 to sustain that population.
Don’t tease me like that Boris.
Boris needs to permanently turn off the electricity in 10 Downing Street.
Time to walk the walk!
Civilisation is British for Civilization.
Like colour.
As was stated.....” its aim of extracting enough carbon-cutting commitments”...and that is absolutely rubbish!....... Their interest is not in cutting but in penalizing and collecting big revenues from ‘productive’ countries in order to redistribute those revenues to 3rd world country populations while at the same time redistribute 3rd world populations into Western nations so they can get at their resources.
So...He’s flying from London to Glasgow and pushing the climate hoax?!
It is if Goldman Sachs... excuse me Golden Slacks and their investors who “own” the carbon commodities get their way.
For, in point of fact we are headed for another 200 year mini-ice age... and THEY will control the energy prices under the guise of “protecting the PLANET” from global warming... er.... climate change. Climate change happens regardless what man does..ever. Perhaps global nuclear war would make some changes... the the PLANET will be doing just fine. Just not the humans, who didn’t cause it in natural conditions in any case.
IT IS THE SUN-— Euro Morons. Very profitable pitch for world globalists to control all of us.
He’s right, but not in the way he thinks. Modern society is built on the availability of cheap energy. Take that away and civilization as we know it will collapse.
Surely you meant “...curb Brandon...”. 😨🙌
Boris, if this is how you and others would manage things so far, maybe the Erf could use a good vomit.
Sick, empowered, ‘special’. elite.
This from the leader of a country that if it was a US state it would be poorer than Mississippi ( Britissippi?)
Roger that. Not to mention, the erf don’t “care”.
Boris has been turned into a wholly-controlled beta-cluck by his new eco-warrior squeeze, Carrie Antoinette, aka Princess Nut Nuts.
Amazing, really.
