German of the day: Klima-Disinformation

That means climate disinformation.

The consequences of green climate disinformation – Whether it’s heat, drought or global warming, the loudest warnings about climate change are preventing effective solutions…

The EU had proposed being able to buy three percent of its CO₂ reduction outside the continent from 2036, for example by planting forests in Africa… Green lobbyists, on the other hand, want all of this money to be spent on climate protection in this country (Germany). The case is exemplary: those who are particularly vehement in their warnings about climate change are opposed to pragmatic solutions.

Just like everybody else does.

They moan about it being too hot, too cold, too wet or too dry for the season and blame it on the “Climate Crisis.”

How Germany manages extreme heat and climate change – The next heat wave has been forecast in Germany. How is a country known for its lack of air conditioning preparing?

This summer has seen some hot days in Germany. Very hot. In early July, temperatures in Hamburg and Cologne soared to 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 F). Some areas recorded temperatures close to 40 C.

In earlier years, such temperatures were not typically recorded until early August — a development that experts attribute to climate change. On radio, television and social media, people were urged to stay at home, especially during the middle of the day.

Its political competetors demand.

Gee, I wonder why? German voters seem to be much less concerned.

Poll: Germans largely reject ban on far-right AfD – Germans reject a ban on the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) by a majority of 52% to 27% in favour, according to a new representative survey published by the Allensbach Institute polling organization on Saturday.

The proportion opposed to a ban rises to 65% in the east of the country, according to the poll published by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung daily newspaper, while it falls to 49% in the western states. The AfD enjoys widespread support in the formerly communist eastern states.

By the end of which year?

They’ve already had over ten years to do it (thanks again, Angie).

German kids? Today?

They won’t even take out the garbage.

Germany’s 16 states are locked in a fierce row over when they are able to take their summer school holidays, with the southernmost two accused of permanently hogging the best slots on the grounds that their children are required to help bring in the harvest.

Constitutional courts that become political footballs?

Why, what a novel concept.

Good thing that can’t happen here.

Germany’s Constitutional Court becomes political football – The Bundestag was supposed to elect three new judges to Germany’s highest court. But the vote was canceled due to a dispute over one of the candidates. It is unclear what will happen next.

A few hours before the planned vote, the CDU demanded that the SPD withdraw Brosius-Gersdorf’s nomination, citing new allegations that she might have plagiarized her PhD dissertation in 1997, which left-wing politicians see as spurious…

“This judge is unacceptable.”

Maybe he was attacked because the baseball cap was white?

Perhaps the attackers were MAGA purists?

Political Assault in Brussels: Young Man Attacked for Wearing Trump Cap – On the night of Thursday, July 3rd, a young German citizen was assaulted in Place du Luxembourg in Brussels, just steps from the European Parliament. The incident occurred at the well-known bar ’The Network,’ a popular gathering spot for EU officials, parliamentary assistants, and visitors.

According to the testimony of the 24-year-old victim, the incident began when a woman approached him and snatched a white baseball cap with the slogan “Make America Great Again,” associated with former U.S. President Donald Trump. After calling him a “racist,” three men, reportedly of North African origin, joined in, allegedly insulting and physically attacking him, leaving him with multiple bruises, facial injuries, and a head wound that required several stitches.

But they sought asylum with you! No, with you!

Get out the popcorn.

Are criminal gangs behind it?

No. Well, yes. The criminal gangs known as “politicians.”

The old and the poor are doing the shoplifting because they can’t afford the food.

Shoplifting hits record high in Germany: Are criminal gangs behind it?

Shoplifting cost the German retail sector nearly €3 billion in 2024, a new record that was partially driven by organised crime. The federal government is also missing out on millions of euros in tax revenue.

German retailers noticed a gaping hole of missing merchandise worth €4.95bn when they completed their inventories in 2024. That’s according to a new publication by the country’s EHI Retail Institute, based on a survey they carry out each year.

Mass layoffs for peace? Absolutely. It’s only the right thing to do.

Especially if you’re on the left.
