🔶 Concerned about Germany's failure to meet its climate goals.
Germany will not achieve the climate goals it set for 2030 and 2040. The environmental and nature protection associations mainly blame the chancellor and the economy minister for going backwards in the field of climate protection.
Three months have passed since German Chancellor Friedrich Mertes warned of the consequences of climate change in response to the devastating Hortgenwald fire in the Eifel region.
Mertes said then: "I want to say to all climate change deniers: look exactly what happened here; it's climate change."
Tageschau, the news website of the German TV channel One, writes in a report on this issue, he promised that he will do everything with his government to curb climate change. But critics accuse Mertes of failing to deliver on that promise. He was mostly silent about the persistent summer heat, calling it simply "weather conditions".
