1. That’s exactly why I think most of the pledges (esp. those made by politicians/governments) are essentially worthless – circumstances change, next election steps up, people protest, tons of reasons to abandon. They just don’t care

2. A pledge is worthless without consequences. 

3. this sucks

4. Pledges are far off because no action is needed for years. Expect similar pledges about 2050 goals to be pushed back come the 2040s.

5. Scotland caved

6. Er tu Caledonia?
