I don’t remember there being any promise or commitment to go carbon neutral by 2000, the Kyoto Protocol for carbon emissions reductions wasn’t signed until 1997 and didn’t even go into full effect until 2005, with the first commitment level starting in 2008, but that level wasn’t full carbon neutrality.

That level of warming is now inevitable. But we will instead totally really definitely avoid 2 degrees. Which we're already likely to miss. Now the EU tells me about how we are going to go ICE car free by 2035. And do that by doing nothing now...
