Do you have a source on this? I can only find things related to COP26– which is a separate event organized by the UN. Hence why Scotland isn't invited.

Is Bozo his father? Biden better let him thru... this conference might already be a mess as it seems to be mainly politicians who are going to delusionally haggle down the bare minimum from scientists.
