That means people are still pumping the oil and not forcefully pushing for anything that will mitigate the 70 million tons of Co2 we spew into the air every day.

Therefore, the "climate action" that will now ensue must not be just accepted simply by placing that label on it. Any such action that winds up having a negative impact on the environment and the human condition cannot be considered a positive action no matter how "green" some may try to make it look.
