    Seems to me as if the German authorities are not authorities at all when it comes to climate change. I mean 50 degrees in India and they still act as if these protesters were criminals. Might just be the other way around.

      Welcome to the German gerontocracy. The obsolute majority gives a fuck about anything other than living their remaining years as well as possible, conservative politicians have completely abondoned actual topics, positions and discussions for the most rediculous culture war bullshit imaginable and the media is parroting their narratives 24/7.

      Any actual progress is drowned in propaganda to reverse its effect (for example the law change to reduce co2 in the heating sector managed -after months of lies and desinformation- to create a massive boom in gas-heating instead).

      And just yesterday the CDU in opposition (and biggest party by polls) demanded to revert the EU’s ban on combustion engines (that doesn’t exist in the first place but is just a conclusion following co2 reduction goals) and other climate goals (including those implmentd by them years ago) because we can’t strain German people and the economy with “EV madness”…
