DThe principal is right. Germany is a powerful country, and it can cope with disasters like the floods of the past few days. Therefore, the needs of the affected areas and their citizens should be put first.Comprehensive emergency assistance like her Federal government The announcement is necessary and every effort should be made to rebuild as soon as possible.
The question of what conclusions the Germans drew from the floods (and the droughts of previous years) became more difficult. Climate policy Will be drawn. This mainly revolves around emission reduction targets, which will not help with severe extreme weather conditions in the foreseeable future. With the exception of AfD, almost all parties hope that the German economy will be decarbonized, which will take decades.
Others must follow it
Since Germany only accounts for 2% of global carbon dioxide emissions, our weather will only change if the biggest polluters of the earth’s atmosphere such as China, the United States, Russia, India and Japan join in. Nowhere is enthusiasm as great as here.
Therefore, for the moment, it is very important to adapt life (and housing) in Germany to changing climatic conditions. There is still a lot of work to be done, from early warning systems to protection measures for endangered areas. Because Germans tend to improve the world, they rarely talk about these issues that are vital to citizens’ daily lives.
In an election year, a disaster is more important than usual for politicians, whether they like it or not. Lashett’s poor performance over the weekend. Many citizens hope to see politicians at the scene of the disaster, and some are even doers. But no one needs a cheerful Rhine there.
In the past few weeks, Belbok’s drudgery and cheating have been rightly seen as a test of character. Laschet also failed to pass it.
