Earth is not "some indestructible toy" Prime Minister Boris Johnson told world leaders, as he spoke of the upcoming Glasgow COP26 summit as "the turning point for humanity".
Mr Johnson addressed the United Nations General Assembly in the early hours of Thursday in a speech in which he conceded a rise in temperatures was inevitable but said we can hope to "restrain that growth".
The address was the last stop on Mr Johnson's visit to the United States which has seen discussions held on trade, the Covid-19 pandemic and climate change.
Mr Johnson told the Assembly it was time for "humanity to grow up" and look to the coronavirus pandemic as an example of "gloomy scientists being proved right".
