In Ullrich Fichtner's column, it is emphasized that combating the climate crisis requires a positive vision instead of dwelling on blame and constant alarm, as suggested by a French researcher. (translated)
Austria is expected to miss the EU climate target for 2025, as greenhouse gas emissions have increased by 0.7 percent to 67.1 million tons due to a cold winter and reduced hydropower. (translated)
A current UN report warns that the Earth is expected to exceed the 1.5 degrees Celsius warming mark in the coming years and calls for urgent action to limit the increase and return below this level, while Secretary-General Guterres points to the serious consequences such as more extreme weather events and the loss of ecosystems.

@_MartinHagen @welt Das Verbrennerverbot hing an der Zustimmung der @fdp. Sie hat leider zugestimmt und unsere wichtigste Branche versenkt. Sich selbst aber auch, nie wieder FDP! #Verbrennerverbot #FDP #Klimaschutz
THERE WAS MINISTER❗️ Lauterbach celebrates Albania, Bhutan, Nepal, Paraguay, Iceland, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo as role models for the energy transition. He believes that even the (currently) third-largest economy in the world, Germany, must follow their example. Now it will (translated)
3️⃣ Climate protection is a shared task to which everyone can and must contribute. Let’s take it on – together. (vdb) (translated)
Der vormalige Minister, Gaukler und Trickbetrüger Karl Lauterbach preist heute sieben Drittwelt- und Kleinstaaten als Vorbilder für die Energiewende an. Kein einziges davon ist ein Industrieland. Kein einziges davon nutzt nennenswert Windkraft. Nur eines davon hat einen erwähnenswerten Anteil Solar. Der ganze Strom dort kommt aus Staudämmen und heißen Quellen. #Energiewende #Klimaschutz #Nachhaltigkeit
Turkmenistan has closed eight methane leaks at oil and gas facilities, which an environmental expert considers a significant step for climate protection, even though there are still numerous methane sources in the country. (translated)
The German Environmental Aid criticizes in its service car ranking that many German politicians use climate-damaging combustion engines and plug-in hybrids, while only 90 out of 249 examined service cars are purely electric, which is assessed as a "reverse gear in climate protection." (translated)
100% electricity from renewable energy: Seven countries have succeeded. All others must follow: Albania, Bhutan, Nepal, Paraguay, Iceland, Ethiopia, and Democratic Republic of the Congo. (translated)
An investigation by the German Environmental Aid shows that 160 out of 249 official cars of German ministers significantly exceed the EU CO2 limits, with particular criticism directed at the use of climate-damaging plug-in hybrids. (translated)
Merke: BEV sind laut @TU_Muenchen eine „gefährliche Klimastrategie“, nicht etwa, weil sie mehr CO₂ verursachen als Verbrenner, sondern weil sie trotz deutlich geringerer Emissionen nicht zu 100 % CO₂ frei sind. Nach diesem Maßstab gibt es allerdings gar keine Klimaschutzmaßnahmen! #Klimaschutz #CO2 #Nachhaltigkeit
Eine Studie der TU München zeigt, dass E-Autos nur 41 % CO₂ sparen, statt klimaneutral zu sein. Uni-Präsident Hofmann sieht „substanzielle Fehlsteuerung“ der EU-Klimapolitik. https://t.co/3iP0oNjeFJ #Energie #Klimaschutz #Nachhaltigkeit
The article discusses that the greatest opportunities for CO₂ savings in climate protection lie not only in refraining from flying, SUVs, and cruises, but rather in electricity and energy generation, industry, global consumption, as well as in the way we produce and transport worldwide. (translated)
A new study from the Technical University of Munich sheds light on the inadequate climate balance of electric cars and calls for a rethink from the EU regarding the strategy for phasing out combustion engines, while CSU leader Markus Söder demands a real rethink and technology openness in the automotive industry. (translated)
Ursprünglich sollten die Einnahmen aus der CO2-Bepreisung pro Kopf an die Bürger ausgeschüttet werden („Klimageld“). Dann sollten sie für den Klimaschutz verwendet werden. Nun stopfen sie Haushaltslöcher. 🤡 Bei der Zuckerabgabe ging es schneller: von einer Abgabe, die den Krankenkassen zugeht, hin zu einer Steuer auf alles Süße, die in den allgemeinen Haushalt eingeht. 🤡 Es ist immer das gleiche Spiel: ein außersteuerlicher Grund („Gerechtigkeit“, (Fehl-)Anreize, …) wird vorgeschoben, um mehr Steuereinnahmen zu rechtfertigen, der dann schnell „vergessen“ wird. #Klimageld #CO2Bepreisung #Steuern
The British government is planning tests over the eastern North Atlantic as part of Operation Blue Skies to find out whether altered flight paths can avoid the climate-damaging contrails from aircraft, which could make flying more environmentally friendly. (translated)
Top scientists from the Technical University of Munich question the EU policy for promoting electric cars as climate saviors and argue that it is based on a flawed exhaust logic, which could have significant industrial policy implications. (translated)
The climate crisis forces Nepal, which is struggling with enormous destruction from a flood, to bear the costs of a global crisis in which it had little involvement, making a global compensation system for climate damage necessary. (translated)
