In Germany, record heat meets climate action fatigue

When Lars Werner of the “Last Generation” climate activist group glued himself to the road four years ago to protest for greater climate action, Germany had not yet seen 12,500 heat-related deaths (the 2026 toll, so far), or record temperatures across Western Europe, and fully loaded ships were still navigating the Rhine without difficulty.

“Of course, I could say ‘I told you so,’ because it was foreseeable and comes as no surprise whatsoever,” Werner told DW.

Uh huh. Except, the climate cultists were talking about in 2050 and 2100, because the weather is finicky

But so far, the federal government has remained astonishingly quiet. Despite the crisis, it has still not convened a “heat summit.”

“It is utterly irrational for the federal government to resort to tinkering with regulations — such as lifting the Sunday ban on truck traffic — in the hope of somehow scraping by without implementing a comprehensive climate protection policy for the long or even short term,” said Werner.

More and more in government are bowing out of placating the doomsday cult

Only a few hundred protesters turned out for a demonstration outside the chancellery in Berlin a week ago. It was a far cry from the protests in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, when hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets to demand climate action.

A recent study by the Bertelsmann Foundation found that 80% of people in Germany are worried about climate change, and more than 50% want to see more government spending on climate protection. But that doesn’t mean they’re take to the streets.

It might have been popular briefly, but, they wanted theoretical action. Once actual real world action happened all the little peasant level cultists realized that they were the ones forced to pay the price.

“Then there is the competition for attention; the COVID pandemic and the war in Ukraine pushed the climate issue out of the spotlight, and current economic concerns also play a major role,” said Haunss, adding that many of those who took to the streets against climate change a few years ago are now focusing on different topics.

Real world.

German Environment Minister Carsten Schneider of the center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) now wants to amend the constitution, the Basic Law, to make heat protection a joint responsibility of the federal government, the states, and the municipalities.

However, the larger coalition partner, the center-right bloc of the Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU), is skeptical of the plan and has cited “legal concerns.”

The Warmists basically want it cult Beliefs embedded in their Constitution. More and more are tuning out, though.
