Credit for actually reducing emissions. It is better to fail a 80% reduction target with a 78% reduction, then to hit a 25% target perfectly.

We're literally about to enter a runaway climate catastrophe, and we're only catching up with the last 20 years of emissions now. If we stopped burning all fossil fuels world wide tomorrow, it would take 20 years for the effects to stop. We are far past fucked my friend.
