“This reform is a disaster,” Green Party parliamentary group co-leader Katharina Dröge told the German Press Agency (dpa).
“The CDU and SPD [Social Democratic Party] have today made it abundantly clear: climate protection is completely irrelevant to this coalition,” she added. “The federal government has abandoned the achievement of the climate targets.”
The managing director of the German Environmental Aid Association (DUH), Barbara Metz, described the revised law as “an unconditional fulfilment of all the wishes of the fossil fuel lobby”.
Show me a government that really cares about the climate and will put the climate and peoples well being before the well being of an elite group of people I would love to see it. The only time we effectively tackled climate change was when there was a lockdown, we could of used the lockdown as a springboard for actual climate solutions, less cars less bullshit jobs reserving parts of nature to not be commodified, instead every one just shrugging and went back to “normal”. It’s all very depressing.
