COP26: Is Australia Really That Sh*t On Climate Change?

This weekend, Prime Minister Scott Morrison will reluctantly fly to Scotland for the United Nations Climate Change Conference better known as COP26, but why did it take a tongue-lashing from Prince Charles and the Queen to convince him to attend?

And why has there been such a last minute scramble between the Liberals and Nationals to finally agree to some kind of 'in-principle' plan to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2050 when we've known for decades that urgent action is needed?

The Quicky speaks to a climate change expert, and an expert in Australian politics to find out if Australia really is that bad when it comes to global warming and protecting the environment, and what might go down in Glasgow?
