Meh; I take your point, but in 2017 there was definitely more emphasis on risks from climate than from Russia. Not saying that was a valid position, just that it isn't too surprising that politicians don't eagerly swim against the tide being set by the media and general public. The root of the problem is that those journalists and voters aren't capable of holding enough complexity in their minds to acknowledge both risks at the same time.
- hackandthink 4y agoGermany lost momentum in transitioning to renewable energy when Merkel/CDU gained power in 2005. Cheap gas was nice for people and politicians back then, in 2014 and would be nice now. I do/did not support joining the war against Russia but reducing fossil fuel usage is the right thing anyway.
