What’s at Stake in the Bonn Climate Talks?

Under the Paris agreement, each country submitted a voluntary pledge to tackle its greenhouse gas emissions and then agreed to meet every five years to review their collective progress and prod one another to ratchet up their efforts.
But so far, those pledges have proved inadequate. Most industrialized countries — from Europe to Japan to the United States — aren’t on track to meet their emissions goals. And even if they were, the current pledges put the world on course to heat up 3 degrees Celsius or more, an outcome with a far greater risk of destabilizing ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica, drastic sea-level rise and more destructive heat waves and droughts. To stay well below 2 degrees, countries would need to cut back fossil-fuel emissions far more rapidly than they’ve promised so far.
*snicker*
No penalties attached to the Paris debacle... If that doesn't cut-it, then the cheque is in the mail
There was no way they were going to attach penalties to obligations they had no intention of keeping.
Oh yeah... Mexico is staring Trudeau down in a big way. They know he can be a weasel.
