2018 drought unlikely to change Germany鈥檚 climate policy - opinion
The debate between politicians and scientists in one of Germany鈥檚 most popular political talk shows 鈥� Anne Will 鈥� makes clear that this year鈥檚 heat wave and resulting draught is unlikely to fundamentally change Germany鈥檚 climate policy, writes Joachim M眉ller-Jung in a TV review in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Politicians are often not willing to translate climate change into concrete action for fear of alienating voters. 鈥淣o one wants to admit that the political parties each make policy for a specific clientele, that lobbyism is more powerful than ever, and that 鈥榙oing without鈥� must become part of a sustainable economy,鈥� writes M眉ller-Jung.
