BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s diplomatic priorities will tilt toward addressing the threat of climate change as one of the key global challenges of the 21st century, Germany’s foreign minister announced Wednesday.
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, a member of the environmentalist Green Party, said Germany’s 226 diplomatic missions worldwide will become “climate embassies.”
This will require some “reorganization and reallocation of resources,” she said, including with the appointment of a new German climate envoy, the former Greenpeace chief Jennifer Morgan.
The announcement Tuesday that Morgan would take on a senior government position prompted some grumbling in Berlin, including from opposition politicians who questioned why an American activist had been chosen for the post.
“The energy transition is a clear soft power of Germany’s, and I will actively use it,” she said, referring to efforts by Europe’s biggest economy to phase out nuclear power this year, end coal use by the end of the decade and use only renewable energy by 2045.
Morgan said switching into a senior government post — her American counterpart will be U.S. climate envoy John Kerry — after long criticizing countries for failing to do enough to curb climate change was “a unique chance” to pursue an issue she’s focused on for 30 years.

“Tilting at windmills” comes to mind.........
Beware of Germans high on Russian gas.
Now, back to the global warming scam.
The best way to solve climate change is to have a massive nuclear exchange that eliminates Homo Sapiens from the planet...
You know that is what they really think.
These people will cause massive pain and suffering if not stopped. They are on the march here.

By the time these idiots are through, Germany will look like 1945 all over again. Truly a suicidal government.
Putin smiles.
If only we had someone like John N. Kennedy over here.
What he wrote is so true in this context as well: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4036733/posts
Dennis Prager recommends always doing the opposite of what Germany does.
Well, I guess they won’t need that Russian gas after all....
Germany: All The Wrong Moves. Should be a book title.
Isn’t it great to have Germany as a NATO ally: Fighting climate change and dependent on Russia for its energy?
That’s another reason why we shouldn’t stay in NATO. They’re no better than the Russians.
Time for more Executive Orders.
They have lost the war on Covid and are now going to try another tact.
