nice gesture but demeaning?...

COP23 President in Bangkok Thailand, 2018, Fijian Prime Minister Josaia Voreqe Bainimarama, levers Scott Morrison to document more concrete climate plans rather than rely on 'impulse bandaids'.
I guess this is a healthy 'island-to-island' gesture. Small island helps big island? https://t.co/2mFoFsOvqG

The Fijian President graciously handing SM a guideline for a plan for climate action floored me; a plan beyond the pledges. A small island teaching a big island how it's done. OK. So Josaia Voreqe Bainimarama was COP23 President - clearly with more experience. But still...

@EmmanuelMacron On behalf of all Australians, thank you for your insightful round-up of what's unfolding at the G20 leading up to the COP26. Our embarrassing PM =just a 'spin doctor' seeking 'photo ops'. We cringe viewing his world stage antics+much prefer seeking news elsewhere.

I really want Australian café proprietors to start calling macaroons “Macrons” in honour of the dude who just ate Scott Morrison alive. #auspol

Interesting, that as recently as October 29.2021, it was announced Bolsonaro would not attend the COP26 'because everyone would throw stones at him'. The Rio Times 

Yet, other sources say he is attending COP26 - October 28, 2021 Reuters

Jair Bolsonaro's bodyguards assaulted and attacked reporters who were covering the president in Rome.
"In the 20 years that I have been covering trips of presidents, nothing like this has ever happened to me," Brazilian journalist @anaestela said.https://t.co/09xmZKfoJH

Day one at #COP26. Will 🇧🇷 Jair Bolsonaro make a surprise appearance? Will 🇨🇳Xi Jinping’s Zoom connection hold out? Will anyone finally clear up the carbon market regulations? The answers are in the stars.

half-human...

Tantalising piece of art...
Think half-human- a satyr-famed for music, lechery+a love of wine. Or it could be Pan, a human w. goat horns+a goat's legs from the waist down.
Or a mermaid?
And yet, unique?
