Too busy postponing their NATO payments while building gas pipelines with Russia.
Maybe they can remedy the situation by inventing a new really long german word that translates roughly to the angst one feels from not meeting climate goals despite one’s best efforts.
As it happens, I’ve also fallen short of my goal to be Emperor of the Universe.
Just like in The World Cup.
These governments want us to o pay the bills for their left wing delusions.

Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

In 2015 Germany was responsible for 2.16% of global fossil fuel CO2 emissions.
Cutting that in half ain’t gonna do diddly in the grand scheme of things. (As if it even mattered at all, which is highly debatable.)
Crippling the economy on that basis is nothing short of criminal.
Germany closed down its nuclear reactors after the Fukushima reactor incident. As a result, they’ve had to rely more heavily on coal. No wonder they’re not meeting their climate goals.
“Environment Minister Svenja Schulze called for more “courage” and binding regulation in climate policies”
