It does matter what people sign up for. Net zero 2070 still requires significant action today. At net zero 2070 I don’t see significant differences in Canadian policy as net zero 2050. You would still want to make the infrastructure and regulatory changes now to support the 2070 goal. (2070 is probably much more realistic than 2050 anyway).
Net zero is not a buzzword, it’s the actual measurable we need to be able to hit to limit and perhaps reverse the affects of global warming.
Finally if we don’t change our actions the carrying capacity of the world will be reduced. Will everyone die no, will the people least responsible for climate change be most affected by it’s out comes? Absolutely.
