Silence, set in stone

Instead, we engraved our climate goals in a block of granite and let car brands know that for every climate goal they announced, we would be taking note. Though a lot was said at the conference, only a handful of car brands were ready to commit to something even close to what is enough. For COP27, car brands will get a new chance to speak up. There's more than enough space left on the stone for every car brand out there to make a real commitment. But in the current era, silence on climate goals is a blank to fill in.
