The point of that comment is not that the talking is happening, it's that the hope of action isn't going to be blocked by industry-captured and plain moronic countries like Saudia Arabia and US, respectively.

Even if these countries are a smaller part of the climate affecting processes, any forward motion is good at this point. They can also help build economies of scale, and take advantage of the myriad economic benefits of renewables that other countries are leaving on the table.

The US still has enough power to stop it though, thankfully.

We aren’t captured by environmental activists that force the poor to shoulder the compliance burden while the rich get to defer and delay.
