Als staatlich geprüfter und anerkannter Klimaleugner melde ich mich zur Äußerung des Bundeskanzlers Friedrich Merz zum Waldbrand in Hürtgenwald. Er sagte: "Das ist der Klimawandel. Ich will allen Leugnern des Klimawandels sagen: Schauen Sie sich das genau an, was hier passiert ist“,https://t.co/MVJsFAAYPA Das ist eine unredliche Aussage. In den 60er bis 90er Jahren hatten wir in Deutschland durchschnittlich eine jährliche Waldbrandfläche von 3300 ha. Von 1990-2020 800 ha, also minus 75 %. 2025 und 2026 waren tatsächlich starke Waldbrandjahre. Aber den Klimawandel für diese beiden Jahre als Ursache heranzuziehen, wird von keiner Statistik belegt. Denn beim Klimawandel handelt es sich um globales Phänomen. Die Waldbrandfläche nahm weltweit um 25 % seit 2000 ab. Und 2025 und 2026 sind weltweit die Waldbrände weiter zurückgegangen - um minus 40% gegenüber dem Durchschnitt der letzten 15 Jahre.(Copernikus:Globale Biomasseverbrennung in 2026 auf dem niedrigsten Level seit 2003, 6.7.2026 in atmosphere monitoring service) Es ist wie bei der Zuckersteuer. Man will die Haushaltslücken schließen, in dem CO2-Steuern in Höhe von 18 Milliarden € jährlich den Bürgern beim Tanken, bei der Heizung und an ihrem industriellen Arbeitsplatz abgezwackt werden. Und die Aussage: "wir werden den Klimawandel zurückdrängen", ist lächerlich. Wenn Deutschland kein CO2 mehr ausstößt, geht nach den IPCC-Modellen die globale Temperatur um 0,015 Grad zurück. Anschleimen beim rot-grünen Milieu von Spiegel bis TAZ wird sich politisch nicht auszahlen. Eher stärkt das Grüne und SPD und Linke. Aber vielleicht ist das der Grund für die grüne Erweckung von Friedrich Merz. 0b diese Propaganda der SPD und den Grünen in Sachsen- Anhalt über die 5 % Hürde hilft ? #Klimawandel #Waldbrände #Klimapolitik
