A SCOT at the heart of this month's COP28 negotiations has said Humza Yousaf shouldn't come back to the summit until he "gets his house in order" on climate.
Glasgow man Ben Wilson, who went to the conference in Dubai as part of the Vatican's delegation, said Scotland's influence on the climate talks had been waning since COP26.
And he warned that would continue for as long as the Scottish Government fails to hit eco targets.
Giving the Record the inside scoop of the summit, Wilson also revealed world negotiators were baffled and "miffed" when UK climate change minister Graham Stuart abandoned crunch talks.
Rather than stay to help thrash out the final deal, Stuart returned to Westminster to vote for the Tory Government's controversial bill to send asylum seekers to Rwanda.
