re: 200 nations agree to move off fossil fuels in historic pact

quote:

The deal calls for "transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy systems, in a just, orderly and equitable manner ... so as to achieve net zero by 2050 in keeping with the science."

What's the penalty if they miss the deadline? Oh, there isn't a penalty?

quote:

---

The deal calls on governments to accelerate that - specifically by tripling of renewable energy capacity globally by 2030, speeding up efforts to reduce coal use, and accelerating technologies such as carbon capture and storage that can clean up hard-to-decarbonise industries.

Meanwhile, in Germany, China, the UK, India, etc.

This is nothing more than a feel-good declarative statement designed to put forth a wall of good intentions to hide the reality that little-to-nothing will change.
