So these countries are going to stop using fossil fuels in 200 years? Because "transitioning away" from fossil fuels doesn't mean stop using them and in a "just, orderly, and equitable manner" isn't a timeframe. The deal is there is no deal.

These jokers are having a laugh at you. The big breakthrough is that the word transitioning will be used to describe something...I'm in absolute awe

Weak promises in a time that needed strong ones

We didn't have a breakthrough. We had a caving in by representatives who were more concerned about getting a message of unity instead of a message saying there are nations who are are not serious about saving the world. I would have no issue naming and shaming those nation and reducing sales of luxury goods (which they seem to care so much about)

Literally just reminded about the 1973 oil crisis, caused by OPEC and linked to Israel. So in that context, this 'agreement' means NOTHING.

😂They just made this to make people happy, but they won’t stop anytime soon. And we depend a lot on coal and oil, a looooooot.

Yeah. I can just see all those oil tycoons liquidating trillions of dollars of oil drilling contacting companies as we speak. Okay.

This is about as reassuring as when Trump visited North Korea and Kim said he will get rid of his nukes

The climate crisis is a terrible thing. Food and insurance prices have shot up in the Western US as a result. But overpopulation is the driving problem, too many people burning too much gas and coal. Our cities are crowded enough. We’ve displaced too much wildlife and done too much damage to the Earth’s life support systems. DW, please address both overpopulation and global warming.

@@peabase UAE for example actually do use nuclear energy. But certain EU countries such as Germany do not want that as alternative and decided to go away from this Option. Other alternatives are highly dependent on specific conditions ie wind water solar and cannot be implemented universally. And you are forgetting oil in manufacturing of goods. No solar in the world will help to replace it in that. By all means I agree we have to look at replacing it with alternatives but they really need to be “better” and not just for the sake of fulfilling political agendas (example electric cars). And you cannot compare the whole world with Scandinavian countries, other countries are going through a different phase still in the developmental cycle.

All on paper, transitioning b.s.

This agreement will be as worthless as all previous agreements. China's carbon emissions will continue to increase exponentially. As other countries develop as a result of China's economic meltdown their carbon emissions will increase exponentially. Poor nations will continue to burn carbon based fuels - wood, oil and gas - because they're cheaper than renewable options. Countries ruled by dictators don't care about the rest of the world and need money to fund their militaries - countries like China, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela. So they amount of Carbon pushed into the atmosphere by these poor and rogue states The goal must be carbon neutrality. The burning of any carbon based fuel pushes carbon into the atmosphere regardless of whether it's source is fossil fuels or plant based alcohols. Be realistic and strive for carbon neutrality. By reducing the dependency on carbon based fuels. Fossil fuels cannot be phased out completely so don’t make that the goal. China will continue to push out additional 2kg of carbon for every 1 kg of carbon removed by the west India is modernizing and will catch up to China in carbon production The developing world only buys whatever is the cheapest fuel source which is oil and gas Use science and common sense and work towards carbon neutrality using a combination of reduced dependency on carbon based fuels and carbon sequestering using natural methods (protected and enhanced grasslands, forests, and ocean preserves).

If everyone start to do his best, step by step, install maybe solar panels, buy/change AC who can use to heat in winter not just to cool the house / room in the summer, using other heat pump for the building, buy an electric car new or used... Change all appliances from methane gas to electric... To arrive at some point where no oil, gas or coal to be used ever again. Electricity we will fight after to be generated not by coal but by wind, solar, hydro or nuclear.
