Are climate talks and climate policy failing?
In short: No.
"In instance after instance, sober realists have been proved wrong, while the wildest hopes of campaigners have been exceeded.
The problem is not that we fail to hit the objectives we set for ourselves. It’s that the drumbeat of bad-faith nihilism encourages us to forget the progress we’ve already made, and lower our ambitions for the future."
