Yes, oh, yes! We will do it! Of course we will do it!

The bosses of the countries responsible for 80% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions have met in Rome for two days. It seems that "they have committed to limiting global warming to 1.5°C."

This is an agreement, and it seems like good news, because China and India, before this summit, did not want to commit to it. But I would say it is not, because as expected, from this summit – it is called that: "summit" – no concrete actions have emerged. They commit to limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Very good, but how? By doing what? Or, rather: by stopping doing what?

If you don't plan to do anything and you say you don't plan to do anything, everyone will look at you badly, you will have demonstrations and perhaps Greta Thunberg will come to your state by sailboat and you will appear on TV as a climate change denier and as unsupportive. Therefore, if you don't plan to do anything, the best thing you can do is commit. You can commit to having the house ten percent cleaner, you can commit to losing two kilos of weight, you can commit to not failing, you can commit to a thousand things and those around you will leave you alone, whereas if you say no, that the house is not dirty, that you don't plan to stop eating processed foods, that you don't plan to study, they will not stop insisting. If you don't specify how you plan to do it, which is what all these G-20 bosses have done, your promises will be a victory.
