This story has even made it into the Anglophone press, so you know it’s a big deal: “German transport minister warns of weekend driving ban,” says The Telegraph. “German minister threatens ‘indefinite driving bans’ on weekends,” proclaims Politico. “
I'm probably repeating myself but late-stage climatism is a lot like late-stage communism: nobody believes it anymore, everyone sees it isn't going anywhere, but people still perform the rituals.
I can guarantee one thing: if they really have driving bans for weekends in summer, people who booked holiday homes/hotels for the summer holidays months ago and expect to drive to their destinations, will be ROYALLY PISSED OFF and voter approval will shrink as a shenis shrivels under the cold, cold stares of an entire fitness center changing room of women.
Even the most stupid politicians must have realized this. It's clear that current legislation initiated by the government is of the "Burnt Earth" type, e.g. they know it will create massive problems and hugely backfire, but it won't be their circus and their monkeys any more as they'll be voted out of power ere long.
For as much nonsense that climate policy has always been, it has done real and lasting harm –particularly to the mental well-being of young people. The number who report 'great anxiety' at the future of an uninhabitable planet is truly depressing.
I wonder if Greta will ever have the awareness that it wasn't political leaders who stole her childhood, but her parents. Abused children tend to commit the same abuse they suffered. Sadly, the widespread fear and mental illness that Greta has spread through the youth of her generation is perhaps her most influential contribution to the world.
can't wait to tell my grandkids (and our latest state-mandated refugee lodger), as we're hunkered down for another climate lockdown, that my tax dollars once helped create an 85-car motorcade for former U.S. President Joe Baidan just so he could poop his pants before the Pope.
And, by the way, it is way past time to get the CO2 levels back where they belong for the health of our planet and for the health of us , up that is, WAY UP.
I think a driving ban would be a natural opportunity for Spaziergänge (walks) and could add an entire new dimension to that kind of event. And then imagine an EV (which would certainly be exempted) driving past a group of disgruntled walkers. Come to think of it, maybe it´s an idea to be considered after all.
I love to ask "green" people what they thought of the Paris Agreement. Turns out, no one I ask has read it, which is amazing to me, because the document is incredibly short (ainthibk it was under 30 pages in English) and there are no technical figures or diagrams and easily accessible online.
The agreement is a trap that asks developed countries to cut greenhouse gas production, while developing countries are, essentially, given a pass on cutting anything.
The trick of the agreement is that the developing countries then had to go and pass their own restrictive laws, putting themselves in economic chains, while their developing global competitors will then have even more advantages.
Any politician in a developing country who advocated for the agreement or has been helping craft the implementation is a traitor to their fellow citizens, and, I believe, actively working against their own country as a subversive agent.
Maybe some people are waking up, but most are too intellectually lazy to notice their impending doom.
Someone is playing the Long Game and it is not to benefit the West.
The cloud has a silver lining: The climatists may well succeed in giving the AfD the majority it needs to govern effectively, thus saving Germany from economic ruin and endless social conflict.
Even upper middle-class urbanites get annoyed when someone suggests they can't take their expensive cars to go picnicking in the pretty German countryside.
And how will Greta continue to be ferried to her pilgrimage sites? It's too bad that kid kept skipping class. She does not apparently know how saints invariably end up. I'll paraphrase what Gabrielle Anwar said in "Burn Notice" (but only in my own head and only the elect will figure it out...).
Was?? Unmöglich!! One of the many things I so appreciate from living in Deutschland ( und Der Schweiz) so long long ago was the Germans love for recreating on the weekend. First of all, all retail stores closed Saturday by 2pm. Sundays everything except Restaurants were geschlossen. The Germans love their cars and they love their Forests. I can remember driving a heavily wooded stretch of road from our home in Bad Soden to Königstein lined with parked cars but not a soul to be seen … my Dad would say “ they’re playing trees!” I don’t know if it’s still the same but I loved that almost every weekend we would venture out on a road trip in the “ Gegend” , take a lovely Spaziergang through some woods, or Gardens and enjoy a treat at a Bäkerei… I hope I’m not saying anything rude but it was as if it was in their DNA to get out…Gute Fahrt and all that, I don’t think this will be well received.
What exactly do these idiot politicians intend to achieve with such ridiculous gestures. I know the German people are a tough lot. Time for them to put these clown politicians, taking their orders and money from globalists and wef, where they belong, in jail. Do it now
It’d be cool if some western government just came out with the truth about all this “climate change” BS, and said something along the lines that the planet has been warming and cooling naturally throughout its existence and further that the puny human race is contributing no appreciable effect and that we are not going to curb our economic expansion and way of life to satisfy idiots. Of course that would be saying means things to mother Gaia and we can’t have that…

wowie.
The real pollution and toxic emissions is coming straight from the mouths of the "leaders"
I wish they would lead all of their followers off of the nearest cliff.
Jeez. EVERY day these people just poison and contaminate the world with their proclamations of idiocy.

DO NOT COMPLY WITH STUPIDITY!

I can see this going down well with the German people! 🙄

Climate change is both a fraud and a scam
Error Or Terror ?
These Marxist Are A Violent Terror.
They Tell You That Speech Is Violence:
While They Kill You;
While They Inject You; While They Cut Off Your Genitalia; While They Pull Your Babies From The Womb.
All While Chanting That Your Speech Is Violent.
If You’re Not Willing To Fight To Their Death - You Are Going To Die. Violently.
