One of the most controversial topics this year was climate protection, influenced by the Green Party who talked their mouths off with the topic. The extremely hot summer which was responsible for the great drought and under which agriculture had to bear a lot of pain, or even US President Donald Trump who allegedly drove the Federal Government to madness with his ignorance of this topic.
Much centred on the protection of this planet. It is also a very important issue, especially as this planet is our habitat and so far the only place where people can survive permanently. So it is of course necessary to protect this planet. The ruling ones allegedly also want to approach this and set themselves goals which they want to reach again and again. But now it became clear that the first goal, which is to reduce CO2 emissions by 40% by 2020 relative to 1990 level, will not be achieved. Instead of the aspired 40%, only 32% can be achieved. The reasons given here are cheap electricity, population growth or the supposedly unplanned economic growth in Germany. So it is said that more and more was produced, more was exported and more profit was taken by the ruling class.
Instead of looking pessimistically at the goals that cannot be achieved, it seems that you continue to be in good shape and set another goal. Now we have to reduce it by 55 % by the year 2030. A goal that is really worthy of achievement? It is clear that the subject of climate protection has, as already mentioned, gained a lot of attention this year. This is also reflected in the electoral successes of the Green Party. In practice this year has become clear in low level in the FRG what climate change means and what effects it can have. So the ruling class have to deal with the issue to avoid any turmoil around this issue. With the Green Party the German imperialism has a representative who theoretically covers this topic. But in capitalism in its imperialist stage the problem of environmental protection will not be solved. The environment suffers until it becomes a problem for the imperialists themselves, as long as this is not the case they shit everything that happens to this planet.
