Double parking is genocide these days, people.

Get a little more original, please. Or get a life already, Berlin Film Festival.

German minister walks out of film festival after claim of Berlin role in Gaza ‘genocide’ – A German minister walked out of the awards ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival after a prize-winning director accused Germany of complicity in the “genocide” committed by Israel in Gaza.

Social Democratic Environment Minister Carsten Schneider left the ceremony on Saturday evening because of “unacceptable” remarks, his ministry says.

Syrian-Palestinian director Abdallah Al-Khatib, who picked up a prize for Best First Feature Award with his “Chronicles from the Siege,” said in his speech that the German government “are partners in the genocide in Gaza by Israel. I believe you are intelligent enough to recognize this truth.”

Two-thirds of Germans view the United States as one of the greatest threats to world peace, surpassing China and edging closer to Russia, according to a nationwide opinion poll. The survey by the Allensbach Institute, a German market research firm, revealed that 65% of respondents named the U.S. among the countries they believe could pose the greatest threat to global peace in the coming years.

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.

And in two months it will be a rained out summer

It’s the never-ending cycle of “climate crisis” hysteria.

Looks like the death cults win.

Douglas Murray has been blacklisted in Berlin – as a British writer living in Berlin, I recently attempted something that now passes for quietly provocative: I tried to buy a book. Not just any book, but On Democracies and Death Cults, the latest from Douglas Murray.

There’s lots of snow and ice in Germany right now. In the winter OMG (this is where you say “but weather isn’t climate”)!

Why wasn’t the government prepared for this?

I mean, GUNTHER.

You can do this.

WWE Bash in Berlin match card & rumors – Everything WWE has planned, so far, for its next major premium live event.

World Heavyweight Championship: GUNTHER (c) vs. Randy Orton – They’re using the controversial finish from the King of the Ring tournament final — the same victory that set up GUNTHER winning the championship at SummerSlam — to justify doing this rematch. It works.

That means a big thing, a big development.

The brown methane eaters – “A big deal”: Spectacular discovery on tree bark raises new climate hope.

Microbes living in tree bark can “eat up” methane, a gas that is particularly harmful to the climate – that much was already known in research. But a new study now shows: The microbes’ hunger for methane is far greater than assumed…

While it has long been known that trees remove carbon dioxide (CO 2) from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, thereby buffering man-made climate change, this new research reveals a surprising additional benefit of forests. Until now, it was assumed that the soil was the only terrestrial sink for methane.
