I know this is a translation and idioms are always tricky but this author is attributing thoughts, attitudes and actions to literally millions of people with no apparent proof, research or sources. Furthermore I have yet to hear a single person from Las Vegas or anywhere else espouse such views.
It sounds like a greenie claiming that lumberjacks only fell trees because they like to watch them crash down.
some people are just so blind, dumb and deaf
Think of it this way ~ they live in a country that's about as big as Ohio and Indiana combined.
Northern California is home to the people who got their water cut off this year for the sake of salmon or something.
They hate the current regime. These Germans think they love the regime.
Maybe they misunderstand the term Northern California and think that it applies exclusively to San Francisco's annual naked homosexual parade or some such.
Yeah, that's it ~ the gay guys ~ these German reporters do get around eh.
And then there's that Las Vegas thing ~ can you imagine that the Germans really do think that Harry Reid, majority leader of the Senate is doing what they want him to do in Las Vegas?
From what I read on the net they are getting ready to lynch the man and he's already found it's not safe to go home during Senate breaks or recess.
Someday we're going to have to take those guys in Germany and bang their heads together and shout out them that "YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHING".
And THEY have the autobahn with parts of it with unlimited speeds. If they were so concerned about global warming the Germans would put a 50mph limit on the autobahn. (I’m NOT advocating that, the German autobahn ist wunderbar!)
Kernel-nomics - big ethanol's inflated job claims
Snips:
The group claims that granting its petition to increase the amount of ethanol blended into gasoline from 10 percent to 15 percent would create an additional 136,101 “green jobs.”
Our analysis shows that only 12,000 to 27,000 jobs would be created at a cost to taxpayers of between $195,000 and $446,000 per job per year for a total cost of $ 5.4 billion per year. Other independent analysts suggest that 38,000 jobs would be created at the cost of $139,000 per job per
“In short, there are claims to economic outcomes associated with ethanol production that seasoned analysts cannot swallow, but that proponents and politicians will certainly tout as gospel unless confronted with better (or, for the most part, actual) research. The gap between sensible analysis and outright nonsense is huge.”3
So the German argument is that we need a Fuhrer?
“We have no choice,” says Kiser. “We can’t wait for ideas from the White House to trickle down to the bottom. We have to be visionary at the local level, and make being visionary part of the mainstream.” But how? Flanagan and Kiser know that they are dealing with like-minded people in their cities and along the heavily Democratic coasts, but the way people think along the coasts has nothing to do with the people living in Las Vegas or Missouri.
“Berkeley, California, is a similar kind of place, a city where everyone has more or the less the same convictions — the only difference being that Berkeley’s residents have very different ideas than the people in Las Vegas”
Would you rather live in Berkely or Vegas?
This is nuts. The world is in no danger from CO2. None whatever.
I never complain of these goons and their use of private planes and the nonsensical "carbon footprint." It's a fiction. Warmists, rockers, they can fly anywhere they want whenever they want. It does no harm whatever.
No. I’ll drive what I want, when I want, whenever I want.
Screw anyone that attempts to stop me.
Americans are divided: Half of them regard climate protection policies as socialist, and half want to save the world.No problem -- the United States should ban all German auto imports. Problem solved, Der Spiegel...
Germany is the vision of rat energy Utopia. Germany has triple our electricity rates and gas prices. Solar panel use is high in Germany despite its location. The German government is now subsidizing the industries most impacted by the high energy taxes.
The left believes very high levels of energy taxation will save the planet. All evidence suggests that high energy taxes will only bring misery. Europe has had very high gas taxes for 25 years or more. Is Europe any closer to an oil substitute than any other country?
Greenism amounts to conversion by the sword to an alien religion. I ain’t no Green dhimmi and neither are any of my friends.
