    COP creators confirm number 27 in the franchise

    Updated: Dec 8, 2021


    With COP26 currently screening worldwide, thoughts inevitably turn to its sequel and to whether the audience for this long running franchise still has the appetite for end-of-the-world scenarios.



    This year’s instalment, set on the mean streets of Glasgow, featured the usual mix of cliff-hanging suspension, lengthy exposition, and some nicely choreographed flights. This time round Russia and China were the villains, although we actually saw very little of them, and the cast included the usual stellar line-up, including Boris Johnson playing someone who gives a shit, Greta Thunberg as the stroppy teenager, and the welcome return of Barack Obama as The President.



    The COP creators, U.N. Sustainable Entertainment, have confirmed number 27 is already slated for production and will be set in the glamourous setting of Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheikh resort. The script is pretty much written, the cast have signed up to do another one, and the planet is ready to be threatened once more.



    Asked how long they can keep the series going, the production company told us, “As long as there’s an audience for it, or until they’re wiped out by some devastating climatic event.”

    Poorest 50% of planet 'likely to achieve COP26 targets'

    Updated: Nov 22, 2021



    A report that the top 1% of earners are likely to exceed the COP26 climate targets has been countered by the observation that the 50% of the poorest people on the planet are 'very unlikely' to exceed emission limits is seen as progress.


    'Clearly wealth is a barrier to achieving our goal of stopping climate change,' said a government spokesperson today, 'so if the government continues to ensure the majority of the UK has a declining income then we are likely to achieve the net zero targets earlier.


    ' Of course there will be the pesky 1% who are likely to increase their wealth through government contracts, but we can carbon offset them', continued the spokesperson. Or as the Prime Minister likes to refer to the pesky 1%..... us.''
