BERLIN (AP) — Economists, scientists and environmental campaigners called Tuesday for the German government to create a 100 billion-euro ($100-billion) fund for tackling climate change.
Marcel Fratzscher, the president of the German Institute for Economic Research, said the money is needed partly because of Germany’s failure to invest enough in solar and wind power. Adequate funding would have made the country less dependent on fossil fuel imports that are now contributing to energy poverty, Fratzscher said.
“These mistakes need to be corrected now,” he told reporters in Berlin.
Volker Quaschning, a prominent climate scientist at Berlin’s University of Applied Sciences for Engineering and Economics, said the 100 billion euros were only a fraction of the total sum required to transform Germany into a low-carbon economy and make the country resilient to the impacts of global warming.
Part of the money would also go toward helping developing countries. Quaschning said events such as the recent floods in Pakistan showed that far larger amounts would be needed in the coming years if Germany wants to shoulder its share of responsibility for climate change.

Perhaps they can burn the money for warmth.
Climate change hysterics and con-men.
It’s hard to decide which is worse.
Gee, I wonder why they did not ask for 200 billion.
First and foremost, such a fund will be their personal goodie-bag. And, of course, fund money will be used to lobby for expanding the fund even more.
In the past month, bakeries across the nation have been getting their warning letter from the power companies...saying the price will go to six to ten times their normal bill. A lot of smaller bakery operations are saying they will shut down within 90 days because bread will triple price.
You go and discuss the problem with pizza shops....same issue brewing, and you could be talking about a 25-Euro pizza which used to be 9 to 12 Euro in price.

Fratzscher and any who agree with him need to be taken behind a nearby barn and have the ‘woke’ thrashed out of them ...
If Germany actually has that much disposable cash laying around they need to busy building a few nukes.
Stuck on stupid...
How many nuclear plants will that buy?
Greta is now working to shut down wood burning.
Burning wood is currently rated “carbon neutral” in Europe by climate czars.
You have to credit the determination of the left. Like rust, they never sleep. Their people are fixin to freeze their butts off this winter and still they push the green propaganda without letup
There is only one alternative to fossil fuels, nuclear. If you are serious about replacing fossil fuels then you go nuclear.
