- SpicyLemonZest 5y agoWell, they can’t say it because it’s not true. The Paris agreement is associated with a substantial change in our “current policies” climate trajectory (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/10/25/climate/world-climate-pledges-cop26.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/10/25/climate/world...), and that was before a large paradigm shift in the cost of renewables.
