Germany admits will fall far short of 2020 climate target
June 13, 2018


The German government acknowledged Wednesday that it will miss a 2020 target for reducing carbon dioxide emissions, but vowed to catch up "as quickly as possible".

Rather than cutting emissions of the greenhouse gas by 40 percent compared with 1990 levels, Europe's largest economy will manage reductions of just 32 percent, said the annual climate report for 2017 signed off by Chancellor Angela Merkel's cabinet.

The shortfall of eight percentage points translates into around 100 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) pumped into the air annually.

The Greens will just push that much harder, they won't be happy until they have bankrupted Germany. It's unbelievable what my cousin, a rabid green and brainwashed socialist, tells my mother about how America is going to destroy the world. A few months back she was irate and told my mother that America was going to start a world war. I told my mom next time she started up with that crap to tell her that it would only be fair since Germany got to start the last two.
