Humanity should sacrifice “personal freedom” just as many nations did during the Covid-19 pandemic in order to successfully fight climate change, a German MP has said, adding that there will “never” be a vaccine against CO2.
Germany had barely started its coronavirus vaccination campaign when a Social Democratic MP, Karl Lauterbach, warned that his compatriots need to brace themselves for yet another challenge: global warming.
“We need measures to deal with climate change that are similar to the restrictions on personal freedom [imposed] to combat the pandemic,” the professor of health economics and epidemiology at the University of Cologne wrote in a guest piece for Die Welt newspaper. He added that he hoped climate change issues would play “a dominant role” during the upcoming election campaign ahead of the federal ballot scheduled for September 2021.
The politician said he “had an impression” that Germany, Europe, and particularly the US “would not have been able to defeat the Covid pandemic without the development of a vaccine.” All these nations are still quite far from defeating the virus, as their vaccination campaigns have only just started, and the number of new infections in these nations remains relatively high. But he appeared much more concerned about the fact “there will never be a vaccine against CO2.”
Lauterbach admitted he was rather skeptical about whether his dream future, in which humanity would beat climate change through the sacrifice of freedoms, would ever be achieved. “My experience of combating the coronavirus pandemic has unfortunately made me extremely pessimistic about whether we will be able to successfully stop climate change in time,” he admitted.

Karl Lauterbach: Elderly pay highest price for COVID-19 control

Fortunately nature has already provided us with one. It’s called the tree.
ROTFL!!!!!!! It is my pleasure to award you the internet. Congratulations on a job well done!

I wonder if the East Germans will ask Russia for a do-over on the occupation.
At some point we have to say no more and it has to be global— so each country is too busy with its own people to stick their nose in the business of other countries.
These Freaks can go pound sand.
We will not go there.
In this article, Lauterbach advocates the “creation of institutions” to reduce loneliness. Well, Herr Doktor seems to have missed a history class or two in high school.
Germany had very effective “institutions” that put people together who were suffering isolation, fear of a pandemic, and were afraid of dying alone.
They were called “concentration camps” which ended isolation, a fear of a pandemic of Fascism/Nazism/genocide because it became real, not remaining a nebulous threat, and of “dying alone”.
Why do Germans have an affinity for “sacrificing freedom” for the pandemic, any environmental crisis, or the “fatherland”?
Aha! The next step!
Who could have predicted that?

Yes, there are vaccines against CO2: trees and expanded nuclear and hydro power.
IF over population is causing climate change-—WHY would anyone want the general populace locked down at home, where activities could produce MORE POPULATION???
Global warming = the next big hoax.
And the second shoe that is still to drop, shows itself.
Watch, every flu season, every crisis, every single chance will be taken to impose more shutdown / restrictions.
