Sylvia Limmer, September 8, 2020, EU Climate Goal

AfD Kompakt, September 8, 2020.

Even the previous goal of a 40 percent reduction of greenhouse emissions by 2030 was an assault on economic and ecological reason. It was based on the limitation of climate warming to 1.5º C, announced at the Paris climate conference. With a Stone Age ecology drawn up according to the civil-religious Greta Diktat, 55 percent is to be demanded, on the same basis and without new facts. Or that 65 percent emissions reduction by 2030 being pushed by the EU’s standing committee on the environment. Like Germany since 2015, the climate rescue over-bidding competition is without borders.

No consideration will taken of the losses. Entire branches of industry are threatened with collapse. Fundamental principles of the market economy, which have made this continent great, will be trampled underfoot and sacrificed on the altar of an ostensible eco-planned economy. That the Christian Democrats meanwhile take up this green agenda impressively demonstrates what they stand for: For a trendy [zeitgeistaffinen] opportunism and nothing else. We emphatically reject this view.
