Effect on climate: ZERO!! Because human and/or animal activity has NOTHING to do with climate. The warming is natural and so will be the coming cooling.

The increased taxes will finance bureaucrats for more CO2-spewing junkets to climate change conferences.

This isn’t for the environment.
It’s a simple cash grab.
The German government needs money.

Why is it always a tax that stops global warming?
To: beethovenfan
Yep. They’ll be confused with the coming cooling. We’re on the verge of another mini-ice age.

They create a fake crisis and then create a real tax to fix it. I say go for it.
In all seriousness there is a point where even the most docile citizen says enough is enough and will actually turn against their master (the elite).
Europeans have traded their freedom for comfort. Now that the elite have them trained, they will begin taking away their comfort by taxing things people enjoy all in the name of saving the planet.

Are they imposing this tax on meats they export to China and other similar nations?

Wouldn’t it save the Earth even faster if the tax were 100%?

I can’t wait to see what they say when the cooling from the recent and continuous lack of sun spots materializes in the next 2 years

I thought Germany abandoned with a passion the Hitlerian health nazi stuff.

Last Winter we had quite a number of days where the low was 20 to 30 deg. below “normal”.
That’s plenty cool enough for me.
