Another summit, another “visible progress” pledge, and I’m supposed to believe 190 delegations flying in on jet fuel will fix a crisis they helped cook. Blame El Niño all you want, but it doesn’t explain why the emissions curve never bends. What’s missing is a number with a deadline and a penalty attached. Show me a binding cut, not a press release.
