Good news!
This is about one of the most damning pieces on the European climate movement I’ve read all year. An atmosphere of resignation is truly sweeping through Germany’s climate movement. Flagship media are waking up.
We’re winning!
“Failed tricking their way past democracy”
Germany’s equivalent of the Washington Post, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) has written a blistering criticism of Hans Schellnhuber’s WBGU and activists’ efforts to impose a green authoritarian society on the rest of the world. They overshot and missed the curve. The FAZ introduction reads:
The rescue of the planet gets cancelled. The climate advisory council to the government played high stakes poker. And lost. They failed at tricking their way past democracy.”
In the eyes of one Germany’s leading flagship national dailies, the renowned Frankfurter Allgemenine Zeitung, the attempted green coup led by a small group of elite scientists and a mass of activists has come to grinding halt.

“Good news!”
Surely it should be:
“Good news, everybody!” ?
Remarkable.
I think we should stop using the term “scientist” for all reports. Academics is a more general term and would better describe the population. Among the researchers some do empirical research while others do literature reviews. Scientist is just a “loaded word” for a conversation to convey authority to the persons cited.
One veggie day a week? Like Catholics and fish Fridays?
Keinen Schnitzel mehr zu essen?
The FAZ writes that one of the fundamental aims of the WBGU was changing Germany’s constitutional law: climate protection was to become an official state priority and that going green was “as morally imperative as the abolition of slavery“. More importantly, the “transformation to a climate-protective society would have to happen very rapidly“. Dissenters would be marginalized and stigmatized, and so denied real participation. Though highly controversial, the WBGU never backed down from this radical proposal, always insisting that the fate of the planet was in imminent peril, that there could be neither compromise nor delay, and that time was of the essence and the science was unanimous. The WBGU even called it a test for democracy, claiming that if society failed to act, it would show that democracy was no longer capable of functioning in the face of crisis….
Alas, the Anglo-Saxon races seem particularly prone to this kind of problem…
“They failed at tricking their way past democracy.”
hah!
You can fool all of the people some of the time, at least up until the point that they realise they are being hit in the pocket.
It is still only a criticism of the tactics, it is not questioning the orthodoxy of Warmingology.
It’s all for the good of the unwashed masses. Noble (Nobel?) cause corruption. 😉
From the link:
Translation: Either you agree with us or you are wrong. And since you are wrong, your viewpoint is not worth anything and thus should be ignored or actively silenced.
Why are those who preach tolerance the most intolerant of all?
more like they failed to hide Mother Nature? (despite all those adjustments?)
Hopefully arrests will follow, and there will be a global round-up of climate miscreants and scammers.

Thank you, Dr. Nick !!
It is good news.
My perspective from the US is that the equivalent of the WGBU here is already employed in the EPA and White House. And evidence shows that they don’t care what our Constitution says.
I think the road to the ‘seizure of power’ takes a lot of different avenues, anywhere. Some are just more organized that others (depending on how ‘advanced’ a society is).

In the land of sausages and beer, “Veggie Day” was that final straw! A sad tale of would be supermen attempting to attain “Guardian” status in a Neo-Platonic Republic, where some pigs are more equal than others.
Fascism or just plain old green pork?
“Meatless” Fridays; and it’s more than that fish just happen to be there and convenient. There is no prohibition on use of meat ‘byproducts’ though like butter or eggs either. Rather, it’s a ‘penance’ thing.

OMG. Each German I have met was such a nice guy, still, they are trying to take over the world third time in a century, in vain &. collective madness. What’s wrong with Germans?
Mind you, even if the somewhat ridiculous Beer Hall Putsch was a complete failure, in ten more years they have tricked their way past democracy indeed. The end result is known.
Therefore we are not finished yet with this current mob.
We want our money back! We want our money back!
C’mon everyone, you know the words!
But I have to disagree about not being able to trick their way past democracy. It would be more accurate to say they were not able to to trick their way past people with the courage of their convictions to stand up to the tsunami of scam. People that have had Anthony Watt as a leader. Thank you.
Did anybody doubt that, climate catastrophe or no,t people would not accept to become poor?
As long climate policy was words it was ok, but when you receive your first energy bill that s another story.
They will be ‘flushed’ into yet a different racket probably … the greens/the green mindset that is … and take that, as well, to an extrema.

Penny Robinson Fan Club, you write “It is still only a criticism of the tactics, it is not questioning the orthodoxy of Warmingology.”
You are correct, but maybe this could be just the first step in a two step process. First get the MSM to make the public realise what a huge cost is being paid to get to the “green utopia”. Then when this sinks in, maybe there will be a politician who matters, and who will realise that telling the pubic that the “green utopia” is not necessary, could be a vote winner.
There is always hope.
They failed because Solar Cycle 24 did not meet predictions.
Can you imagine where the world would be if SC24 had equalled the activity of SC23?
Oooops! Another couple of wheels just fell off the CAGW bandwagon.
