Before an international climate meeting in Berlin, the German activist Luisa Neubauer criticized Chancellor Olaf Scholz as a “fossil chancellor”.
Scholz (SPD) must now present a plan on how he wants to protect people from the climate crisis and financially support the Global South, said Neubauer from the Fridays for Future environmental movement of the Rheinische Post (Saturday).
“For the first seven months of his chancellorship, Olaf Scholz was not a climate chancellor, but a fossil chancellor – new gas production in Senegal, a fossil G7 summit, new fossil energy contracts. That’s dramatic,” said Neubauer accordingly.
The Petersberg Climate Dialogue will take place on Monday and Tuesday. The meeting will be organized jointly by Egypt and Germany and will also serve to prepare for the next world climate conference in November in Egypt. Federal Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock (Greens), Chancellor Scholz and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi want to speak there on Monday.
Compensation for climate damage in poorer parts of the world should also play a role at the meeting. The topic of “damage and losses” is discussed very emotionally at these conferences, said the State Secretary in the Federal Development Ministry, Jochen Flasbarth (SPD), the “Rheinische Post”. “In the past, the responses from the industrialized countries were not good enough,” Flasbarth admitted. “At the Petersberg Climate Dialogue we want to explore what bridges we can build on this topic so that the next world climate conference in Egypt is a success,” he continued.
Attitudes towards work also change over the generations. And that much to the chagrin of Europapark boss Roland Mack, who is currently desperately looking for workers for his amusement park. He simply cannot understand the work ethic of the younger generation, which is geared towards balance and low stress.
The finance ministers of the Ampel predecessor governments, the current chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) and the CDU politician Wolfgang Schäuble, have speculated massively when it came to borrowing for the federal government. Now taxpayers have to pay billions for it.
The biologist Marie-Luise Vollbrecht has made up for her initially canceled lecture on gender biology at Berlin’s Humboldt University. That caused the next scandal.
