"The countries have agreed to negotiate a binding agreement. No agreement has actually been achieved, other than nothing binding will come into effect before 2020."

In other words, they are trying to scrape off the egg adhering to their visage as inconspicuously as possible, and trusting that the fall guy will be on someone else's watch, in the manner of democratic politicians whose time-horizon is no further than the next election, presuming to lecture everyone else on how to fine-tune the weather in 500 years time. It is truly a disgusting spectacle.
