They basically make changes that roll back the advances of the last few decades on a supranational level, so no matter what we or other countries vote for certain changes will be made irreversible and impossible by international law.

The changes energy exploration will restrict any laws on fracking by countries, or states, cities, allowing unlimited fracking and exporting of natural gas until its gone, and in services will block affordable health care for example.
