I assume like every other country's big climate plans they'll announce it, do nothing and then back pedal on it 2 years from now.
Credit for goals hit, not just stated.
It's already what's happening here. Coal phase out in France was due 2023.
It's already planning to do almost nothing. Most of the plan will rely on people replacing their cars with electric ones, and their fuel heaters with heat pumps.
Credit for actually reducing emissions. It is better to fail a 80% reduction target with a 78% reduction, then to hit a 25% target perfectly.
We're literally about to enter a runaway climate catastrophe, and we're only catching up with the last 20 years of emissions now. If we stopped burning all fossil fuels world wide tomorrow, it would take 20 years for the effects to stop. We are far past fucked my friend.
