COP26 risks forgetting the scientists—and the science

Glasgow, the Scottish city that will play host to COP26 in a few days’ time, in many respects does not feel like a city gearing up for a climate-change summit. 

Local businesses complain that their customers’ emissions are increasing as they sit in traffic and are forced to drive huge diversions, thanks to road closures around the Scottish Event Campus, the giant venue on the banks of the river Clyde where COP26 will be held.
