Irish Overseas Development Minister Colm Brophy took a swipe at US President Joe Biden at COP27 in Egypt today.
Speaking to the press about the failings of the world climate summit he said, “President Biden said this is a world effort, but there is no point in keeping on saying that unless you actually come out of here and live it in a meaningful way”.
He made the comment after recalling a ‘horrendous’ experience when he met a mother whose baby was dying as a result of climate change in the Horn of Africa six weeks ago.
