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?

Please, unless a law is passed demanding everyone be a Catholic, there is no logical comparison.

“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?
=====================================
Nick, Nick, Nick, please come out and say it. Whenever in the past you have been challenged to articulate the disasters that CO2 has manifest in the global observations, your have run away. (Could it be that you want global socialism as your chosen political ideology?)
BTW, Mr. Haupt’s opinions appear far more credible then Mr. Mann’s; or in the words of another alarmist concerning Mr. Mann, your are “trying to defend, the indefensible.”
Not to worry, next June the MSM will be shouting the Arctic Ice pack melting fast! Climate Deniers finally acknowledge ice melts when it gets warmer!
Now stop opposing the carbon tax so the federal budget can be balanced. It’s good for the environment and good for the government (government is the people) and that you can’t argue. /sarcasm/

I think we should stop using the term “scientist” for all reports. Academics is a more general term and would better describe the population.
A very sensitve point Loghin, voted from me. Academics much better describes the population.

…. The whole impetus behind the environmentalists has always been all about restricting every aspect of human behavior that they can, and private mobility is certainly not the least of it.
How very true Tom. They did not manage to set a limit to the speed on the german autobahn yet but they managed to put a limit the power on the future vacuum cleaners in the EU. And the limit is really low, 900 Watt from 2017.
