this is probably super obvious to everyone here, but i'm just thinking out loud. so if any of these international agreements was going to accomplish anything, we would already have seen some results. since that's obviously not the case per this chart and uhhh every other chart on the climate, it's more than clear that we've reached the end of bourgeois democracy's capacity to stop climate change. (it's a meaningless distinction whether it's their capacity to stop it vs willingness to stop it; both are obviously at zero lol and because they're committed to capitalism, they can never abandon the extraction economy).
basically we've had decades to hear what the plan is from the people in charge, and it turns out the plan is literally to let the planet melt and just "manage" the results. we can see that many international agreements have come before and failed to stop climate change. that's enough evidence to project that future agreements under bourgeois rule will be similar failures. in fact, it kind of seems like that might be the actual point of these weak-ass pinky swear agreements: to waste our time and our activist energy and just delay the panic for a few more years. so therefore, we must conclude that all activist efforts that are currently getting funnelled towards yet more international agreements are completely wasted. it's a dead end by design, much the same way that the Democrats in the US have been called the "graveyard of movements".
It should be noted that each of these agreements are opposed by the US when they are first written and have some mandatory actions. The is makes them remove that language and votes with it only when it's a recommendation. So if you look for nuance, it's not as dismal as you think. European countries add well as the powerhouses in Asia have been willing to make the sacrifices. So it's not capitalism exactly that's to blame. It's the US.

in conclusion, :a-guy:
It should be noted that each of these agreements are opposed by the US when they are first written and have some mandatory actions.
