A treaty is a big deal. It requires ratification by Congress, and it ranks above laws in a way I don’t fully understand. If I understand, treaties endure in a way that laws don’t, and once they are ratified, its then hard to undo.

Again, not sure about the details, but treaties require ratification.

You are correct - international treaties of this nature must be ratified by the Senate, and by a 2/3’s vote. Even with our very liberal Congress, there is no chance of that happening with this bill.

Tell that to Obama as he heads(ed) off to Copenhagen to sign up the US for climate "control"!

No congress, no ratification, fiat.
