In 1988, world leaders met in Toronto and agreed to cut emissions by 20% by 2005.
It never happened.
The 1997 Kyoto Protocol tried again.
The US refused to sign.
The 2008 financial crisis shifted priorities to bailouts, not climate action.
By 2010, carbon pricing was dead.
Today, China leads in renewables yet burns more coal than ever.
Climate treaties fail because short-term economics always win.
History shows one truth— Governments act when it’s profitable, not urgent.
Will this time be different?
