In Germany. When it comes to climate change, I mean.
Endlich (finally).
Germany’s likely next chancellor vows to put economy before climate – Conservative chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz railed against the climate policies of the left-leaning parties he’ll likely have to govern with.
Germany’s economic policies have been “almost exclusively geared toward climate protection” during the reign of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Merz said during a campaign speech in the western industrial city of Bochum on Monday. “I want to say it clearly as I mean it: We will and we must change that.”
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?
Germany braces for extreme weather and disruptions – Forecasters warned of treacherous conditions that could cause flight and other delays. Meanwhile the UK and US are also dealing with severe wintry conditions.
Or are they finally figuring out where the real danger (and exploitable fear) lies?
A German dilemma: Everybody here knows what everybody here is really worried about but the only ones openly saying it are the evil “Nazi” AfD party. It’s called painting yourself into a corner.
Germans fear migration more than climate change, study finds – Europeans — especially Germans — are increasingly keen on curbing immigration and are less focused on climate change, according to a study by a Danish-based think tank.
The climate scientist who faces getting fired for refusing to fly back to Germany from the Solomon Islands.
Dr Gianluca Grimalda told by Kiel Institute for World Economy he must be at his desk on Monday after finishing fieldwork – A climate researcher has been threatened with the sack by his employer after refusing to fly back to Germany at short notice after finishing fieldwork in the Solomon Islands archipelago.
On Friday Dr Gianluca Grimalda, an environmental campaigner who refuses to fly on principle, was told by his employer, Germany’s Kiel Institute for World Economy, that if he was not at his desk on Monday he would no longer have a job to return to.
Instead this week he was still waiting in Buka Town, Bougainville, to embark on a cargo ship to begin his journey back to Europe, after six months studying the impact of climate change and globalisation on communities in Papua New Guinea.

The weather is not your fault. The climate (weather over time) is not your fault either. Yes, the climate is changing. It is changing because it has never not changed. But no, the “pollutant” CO2, anthropogenic or otherwise, is not driving this change. It is driving plant growth. The narrative you are being led to believe is false. The causes for climate change are all natural. Natural, although not yet fully understood.
How do we know this? We know this because of the historical records our ancestors have left behind and the physical evidence Nature gives us from the vast, pre-industrial past. What we are experiencing has all happened before, only usually much worse. This is why we don’t need to worry about slowing down or stopping the changes we have been conditioned to fret about. These changes can’t be stopped and we can’t “save the planet” because it doesn’t need to be saved. We only need to worry about how we can best adapt to these changes, something humankind has been doing for countless millennia already.
But, huh? How could the rest of the world have reached a different consensus if CO2 isn’t a threat? Because consensus is a political, not a scientific term and those who profit from it also control public opinion. “They” are the aggregate of the professions, groups, institutions and industries that profits financially or in any other way from the CO2 narrative. And they manipulate the public very effectively by exploiting at least three well-known human weaknesses. The first is fear. Fear is easily planted and maintained in the minds of the dis-, mis- and uninformed. Those who plant it know that short of any real and present danger, we humans will find something to worry about ourselves. We look for things to fear, in other words, and our false narrative beneficiaries are here to help us find them. The second is our need to conform. Being firmly rooted in social hierarchies and strongly influenced by group dynamics, we have a primal need to belong. This need is so great that we are willing to deny our own reason to avoid the ban of social outcast. The third weakness is our anthropocentrism. We innately feel that human beings are the center of the universe and are somehow in control of Nature. We are neither, of course, and this leads to hubris, narcissism, ruinous decision-making and ultimate failure. We lack humility, in other words.
Humility is a good thing, however. And this book is an exercise in humility. It aims to offer those who feel uncomfortable with the arrogant CO2 Climate Crisis consensus of our age a chance to step back and doubt. It is a modest collection of well-documented facts and logical observations (most taken from the books listed in the bibliography) that will hopefully help you choose to refuse. Choose to refuse the bias and the hard sell. Refuse the fear mongering. Refuse the indoctrination and the religious fervor.
Remember that only the individual thinks. Only the individual reasons. You don’t have to take part in this mob psychology – or mass delusion, mass hysteria, mass psychogenic illness, mass formation psychosis, etc., if you prefer calling it that. This is what is currently plaguing our planet, not CO2. Just say no and step away. To choose isn’t hard to do. So, without much ado, may the skepticism be with you.
Now it’s much too wet, wet, wet! All it does is rain in Germany these days. But don’t worry, because you’re still allowed to worry. Ask any climate activist. In both cases “the Climate Crisis” is to blame. It’s science. I mean, pseudoscience.
Rhine river levels in Germany back to normal after rain – Heavy rain has raised water on the river Rhine in Germany to levels allowing cargo vessels to sail fully loaded, data from German inland waterways agency WSA said on Wednesday.
Data from the WSA’s website Pegelonline showed that the last shallow sectors of the river around Cologne had now reached levels generally permitting full vessel loads.
Dry weather in June meant the river became too shallow for vessels to sail fully loaded and ship operators imposed surcharges on freight rates to compensate for vessels sailing partly empty, increasing costs for cargo owners.
And really, really, dumb. That the media could think anybody is interested in this nonsense anymore, I mean. German catastrophist activists have been performing this dopey performance art ritual since the 80s, at least.
Climate activists ‘prepared to risk lives’ to stop German coalmine – Hundreds of protesters prepare to defy police at abandoned village of Lützerath in North Rhine Westphalia.
Unable to see beyond the tips of their noses, a group of zany climate activists tried to tip the balance of power in Germany by tipping their hands and cutting off the tip of a Christmas tree.
That’s right. Don’t ask. Hell if I know.
Police got a tip-off but this anonymous tip came too late to keep the tip from tipping off. The activists are doing this, they were told, in order to… Wait a minute, it’s on the tip of my tongue… That’s right! In order to “save the planet.” How stunning and brave or something. Merry Christmas to you too, pal.
Climate activists decapitate prominent Berlin Christmas tree – Climate activists said Wednesday that they have sawed off the tip of the Christmas tree erected in front of Berlin’s iconic Brandenburg Gate.
The group Last Generation said two of its members used a hydraulic lift and a hand saw to cut two meters (six feet) off the top of the 15-meter (50-foot) tree and hang up a banner stating: “This is only the tip of the Christmas tree. (tip of the “climate catastrophe,” get it?).”
Why didn’t anyone think of this in the past? Why did we have to wait until the Greens are in power before finding such simple and effective solutions?
Nothing like good old-fashioned German megalomania.
Germany should help poor countries bear climate change costs – Germany needs to help countries that cannot afford to pay for the losses and damage caused by climate change, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said on Wednesday at the COP27 climate summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt.
Dozens of developing countries have called for a deal at COP27 on a funding facility where rich nations would provide loss and damage cash to vulnerable states.
Earlier this week in Berlin, a cyclist was declared brain dead after an ambulance couldn’t reach her on time. Berlin police blamed the delay on a traffic jam caused by a road blockade by protesters from theLast Generation group. Police filed charges against two of its activists for failing to render assistance and obstructing persons rendering assistance.
“We did not expect that an entire media system would turn against us.”
