Why Germany has a dirty climate secret
Leggere questo articolo comparso sulla Cnn porta a ritenere che la cura dimagrante dell’audicence inizi ad espletare i suoi benefici effetti.
Quando i redattori della Cnn si dimenticano di essere, oppure forse di essere stati, dei liberal democratici, scrivono anche cose di buon senso.

«Germany’s Angela Merkel is often referred to as the “climate chancellor” because of her impassioned stand on climate protection, which has included the muscular arm-twisting of laggard nations in Europe and beyond — as she demonstrated at the G20 summit in Hamburg in earlier this month»
*
«And during her three full terms in office, she’s guided Germany’s vaunted Energiewende, or renewable energy transition, which has vastly increased the number of renewables in the power mix to make up a third of the country’s electricity supply today — and an astounding 85% of power generation on particularly sunny, windy days»
*
«But Germany’s headline success story has a dark underside that is usually overlooked in all the fanfare»
*
«Greenhouse gas emissions in Germany have not sunk significantly since 2009, but rather have stagnated at about 900 million tons of carbon dioxide a year: the highest in Europe by far»
*
«But, stubbornly, emissions refuse to budge»
*
«Germany’s dirty secret underscores the inevitable conclusion that renewables are alone not enough to beat global warming»
*
«living the illusion that more solar panels, hydro-power plants, and wind turbines will solve the problem while also fueling a booming industry that creates jobs and revenue»
*
«Germany has more coal-fired plants than any other country in the EU.»
*
«Germany’s electricity sector, more dependent on coal than renewables, accounts for over a third of the nation’s carbon emissions. …. But so far, Berlin hasn’t even stopped the construction of new coal plants (although the oldest ones are being shuttered.)»
*
«Banning Combustion Engines Is the Wrong Line to Take»
*
«Germany and the rest of the developed world have to critically examine their societies’ levels of consumption. The world’s current volume of consumption and economic growth are unsustainable»
*
«Germany may not be the leader of the free world»
