Europe Climate Policy Blows Engine…”Giant Failure” … Scientists “Failed Tricking Their Way Past Democracy” …”Mood Of Resignation”
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.

One veggie day a week? Like Catholics and fish Fridays?
Keinen Schnitzel mehr zu essen?
———————————————–
Should be, “no fossil fuel”, day of the week, since it used to be no meat on Fridays, rather than, “fish Fridays”.
I think I hear it – yes, offstage somewhere, the fat lady is warming up her pipes. Won’t be long now.
“”But the WBGU was not at all impressed by the public’s rejection. The FAZ writes that one WBGU scientist brushed the rejection aside, claiming the question should not have been posed in the first place and that cafeterias should just implement Veggie Day without even asking. “Just do it, and don’t vote on it,” ”

Wow!! I thought we defeated National Socialism in WW2?
Seem some members of the WGBU have been reading Mien Kampf a little too much!
Maybe. The Left never gives up. A setback, perhaps, but nothing total.
When “electricity rates skyrocket”, we may see a similar setback on this side of the pond.
Freedom is not free. Eternal vigilance required.
Note WUWT’s trolls are absent from this type of thread. The malaise, grief and depression isn’t just in Germany. Germany was just the first to get it. They seem to have fewer useful idiots than elsewhere. They began re-development of coal fired electrical generation and abandonment of green econocide ahead of the others and they had several MSM desertions long before the rest of the world’s press began to wake up.
The UK is next, despite the silliness of burning already sequestered carbon in the form of hardwood forests of North Carolina – even a green idjit knows that regeneration of forests is a lot slower than burning them and therefore it’s pretty much like burning coal in a time you are trying to reduce carbon (carbon and worse is generated in greater amount from less efficient wood than from coal – even not counting the carbon generation from cutting, handling, pelletizing, multimodal shipping and rehandling of the wood at the other end). Aren’t these forests also habitat being destroyed?
The US! What can I say? Obama’s admin seems to be pushing forward with the greatest of zeal at a time when the rest of the industrialized world is trying to figure out how to throw in the towel gracefully. Their “wailing and gnashing of teeth” is yet to come. Harper in Canada has persevered despite heavy fire from the EU, UN and the country’s uncommonly large contingent of useful idiots. Japan, too, ever pragmatic like the Germans, abandoned Kyoto, and of course Eastern Europe, who within this generation escaped from their own totalitarian “democracy by-pass” have been bastions of common sense on this new world order stuff.
So I hereby give my “Climate Thanks” to Germany, Oz for the instant turnaround that seems to be a catalyst for speeding the end, Canada, Japan and Eastern Europe. Of course, Africans didn’t have the green wool pulled over their eyes at all. They went for it because if idiots want to give them trillions, why not? China and India just went ahead with their development plans and their thanks but, no thanks. They deserve some thanks for being a stumbling block.
Penny Robinson Fan Club is right. It is not yet the Final Solution. It is still only criticism of their tactics. It is not questioning of the Catechism of Warmingology. We still have a way to go for the final surrender and cannot relax. However as Churchill said ‘It is perhaps the beginning of the End’. It is perhaps their Stalingrad. After this they have no more victories.

Therefore we are not finished yet with this current mob
Are you looking at this? This is VERY political speech
Full Stop.
Next bell ,”BACK FULL”
Sure hope so.
If a technically advanced nation like Germany fails at building a green economy what nation has a chance? The lesson to the left of course is that they must have absolute control, and history will repeat itself again.
“Germany’s equivalent of the Washington Post, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) has written a blistering criticism of Hans Schellnhuber’s WBGU “
No. The FAZ has published an opinion piece by Frederike Haupt. And the Washington Post has published an opinion piece by Michael Mann. So?
I am not convinced Germany has or will see the light anytime soon. There are far too many so called “journalists” who have made their career on the AGW garbage. The AGW “scientists” if you will, would still be toiling away in obscurity if it was not for the usual idiots in the press. TV, newspaper, and other magazines are the real guilty culprits for this mass propaganda movement. They are criminally responsible for perpetrating this hoax. Governments make policy based on this garbage perpetrated by the press and the green industry working hand in hand. And when did any UN policy become the gold standard for any country that have their own so called checks and balances? Any semi-decent journalists should have checked their facts and never did – entire climate change policies decided by a select few made up of mostly “green” groups – any “journalists” or “editor” worth their salts should have flagged those reports as propaganda. Even now WUWT is under assault from the chosen few who specialize in the smear industry while pushing their AGW agenda. Where are the responsible journalists in North America today?
“Normally Monsieur Candie, I would say, auf wiedersehen. But since what auf wiedersehen actually means is, till I see you again, and since I never wish to see you again to you sir, I say:
Ein Glück, dass wir den los sind!”
(With apologies to Christoph Waltz and Quentin Terantino.
Oh, if only Quentin was a CAGW sceptic. In the biggest fraud ever perpetrated there is enough material, plots, scenes, scams, con men and a potential cast full of colourful characters to make a neo-noir satire that would leave Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill and Django Unchained in the shade. We can only dream.)
Albertalad, i’m sure NA has many capable and responsible journalists that would love to expose the corruption of the UN and the eco movement. The problem is finding MSM whom are interested in publishing such revelations. the question is why?
Is there anything the EPA could not classify as a pollutant via an “endangerment finding”?
National Socialism was just the German brand for fascism. As Benito Mussolini pointed out, the term “corporatism” would be a good replacement for “fascism”. We fought the Germans, Italians, and Japanese in WWII, and not fascism since FDR loved fascism and practiced it as much as he could. Surely you don’t think the USA is a laissez-faire free market economy or anything close to that do you?
Fascism (or corporatism or crony-cap) won decisively during the war. It is just that some of the losers also practiced it. (and were more open about using the name)
Fascism is when the State completely controls the business sector via bureaucracy and regulation while allowing faux-ownership so as to give the illusion that ownership (real ownership, i.e. control) remains in private hands.
The greens want to control all business to force them to follow their vision of the “way things should be”. Nothing is new here — pressure groups use the State to seek to control that which is not theirs to control.

This is not political speech, but an example of “Strine”, or Australian vernacular. Translated it means that the extreme warmists (who in many cases were/are extreme anti-humanists) are still around and active.
@ur momisugly Nick Stokes. The important thing is, it got published. Previously it would not have been published. Things are changing, one day even the BBC might change.
Err… FAZ is talking about the Michael Manns of this world. You’re losing.
*tired of Gosselin’s incessant hyperbole*
One important facet of a highly functioning democracy and a growing economy is having the Green vote below 10%.

Yes, if only.
Here’s Tarantino’s great bar scene, where the SS officer notices the tell — the wrong 3 fingers are held up when ordering three glasses [Germans use the thumb and next 2 fingers].

…Why are those who preach tolerance the most intolerant of all?…
I think I can best answer that by quoting the immortal words of Monty Python:
“…Of course people accuse us sometimes of not practising what we preach, but you must remember that, if you’re trying to propagate a creed of poverty, gentleness and tolerance, you need a very rich, powerful, authoritarian organisation to do it….”
