The climate discourse must take place at a level that is really appropriate for it.
There is no concept that can convey confidence or even enthusiasm.
Missing links that could transform an announced terrible future in a bright one:
True crimes
The crises are queuing.
And politics are suggesting that saving the climate is rather impossible…
But it is only because we don’t realize how simple it would be from a scientific point of view, the solutions were even ratified by almost all countries in the Kyoto Protocol, but the cheapest and most efficient one was largely forgotten.
A trap only works as long as we don’t understand its mechanisms and the ways out.
The lost climate rescuer
Unscrupulous business cartels do not have to abide by laws, they design them themselves.
They also proclaimed their urban fairy tale that nature-compatible is always more expensive than ruthless.
A selffulfilling prophecy that made us believe for decades that solar must be more expensive than fossil or nuclear.
The art of magic is distraction, an unnoticed lobbying strategy is the cover up win-win solutions:
The climate could be saved very easily: A global ban on deforestation would stop climate change: Atmospheric CO2 increase: 5 GT C/year. The CO2 from forest destruction: Well over 8 Gt C/year.
The destruction of forests is by no means a triviality, it is a climate-decisive factor.
Unconditional greed
Our politics are committed to the unconditional greed of the avowedly irresponsible industries and investors? The new minister (Federal Councillor) of the Climate and Environment Department (Uvek) of not-very-corrupt Switzerland: The ex-president and lobbyist of the Swiss oil and car industries. The tip of the iceberg.
Our politics state a “right” of unconditional greed and malice to destroy people and planet, a historical innovation.
Lobbying is the legalisation and institutionalisation of corruption.
Lobbying is the legalisation and institutionalisation of corruption.
Criminal energies: The “petrol station surrogate” of Amazonas and Lapland
The fossil industries can only save their power, profits and existence by a decorative greenwash additive: Agro-/silva-fuels.
Our climate protection policy: Agro-fuel plantations instead of Amazon, Borneo…, and the “climate-neutral synthesis gas”-conversion of the forests of the North, Lapland, Baltic…. These fossil-surrogates are about a hundred times more damaging to the climate than fossil energies, a climate protection-subsidised turbo-destruction of the climate.
Just as the fossil fuel industries sabotaged energy efficiency and renewables for decades, they also thwarted the perception that protecting forests would be an extremely efficient (and cheap) climate protection. So that they can destroy them in order to safe the fossil business.
Impossible? The scientific thriller: A new blog every 1-2 weeks, a transfer of politically inconvenient science knowhow that should become mainstream

We are only surrounded by crises because those who cause the problems always managed to entrust themselves with the leadership in the fight against their own lucrative business strategies.
