Impasse at G20 despite moves by Washington and Beijing to rekindle bilateral discussions

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

I think what bothers me most is the 2060 'comittment' under their own 'methods'. Smells like abusing shady EAC/RECs or the carbon sequestration tech we keep hearing is bunk.
Theoretically if the scope 3 legislation across the world had teeth we'd see companies doing business with China having much higher than average emissions factors in their reports. Hopefully we'd see the market correct but not likely when oceans are hitting 101 and yet 'climate talks are always challenging' still.
The only thing I hope is that the insurance companies bring a reality check sooner rather than later.
