"COP26," the 26th year pretty much all the countries in the world convened in an annual conference to talk about what to do about the climate catastrophe, will result - just like its preceding 25 editions - in talk, then in some more talk. That's because real climate action doesn't happen at these annual climate meetings: It takes place instead elsewhere, at individual country level, when local action results in stopping deforestation; in accelerating renewable energy deployment and electrifying everything; and in stopping any new oil, gas or coal projects.
