I'm rather torn on the discourse on this. I can understand disappointment that people are adjusting down on goals. What I don't understand is that this seems rather removed from outcome measures.

Specifically, in this context, they are still reducing output. Just not as aggressively. Do we have reporting on what this means in real impact terms? Last reporting I have seen, the majority of carbon emissions are from locations that we aren't governing. Such that this is akin to yelling at people for not eating all of their food, because someone somewhere is starving.
