#1 That is what EUroweenies are all about. EUroweenies are EUroweenies. All hat and no cattle, as they say.

#2 They know they can't maintain power if the green rent-seeking goes ahead.
It'll become too obvious to the cattle.

#3 The World’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions in One Graphic

Germany accounts for less than 2%. If German industry and living standards went to the year 30,000 BC, they still would cover one year's world GHG increase.

#4 
its stated goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent by 2020 is not even remotely achievable

That was true at the very beginning.

#5 Contrary to the delusions of the "true believer" constituents, the leadership class knows the Gerbil Worming™ narrative is complete bullgarb. The elites will stick with it for the support it garners them until such time as the downside to budgets and practical realities becomes too big to ignore. Then the "true believer" constituents will be gently introduced to a new global threat to fear. Nationalism and populism are being auditioned for that role right now.

#6 The real threat to everyone's economy is the same as always, rent seeking.

#7 "In 2018, Germany quit being global climate leader"
