Press release by the WERTEUNION IN BAVARIA: “The Sun Drives Climate, Not Co2”.  The Werte Union  (Values Union) in Bavaria decisively rejects “The Green Deal“ and C02-pricing.

Sun drives climate

Munich, December 30, 2019 – The grassroots initiative WerteUnion in Bavaria – Conservative Start – considers it proven that the sun controls the climate, and not carbon dioxide (C02). The new climate laws are therefore insignificant for the climate, yet “threaten the foundations of freedom, prosperity and market economy”, the state level executive said.

In particular, the conservative grassroots movement within the CSU (Christian Socialist Union) criticizes the “Green Deal” presented by EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and the C02 price set by the German government’s climate package, which has now been toughened by raising the C02 price to more than 25 euros per tonne.

Deindustrialization: industries will simply move

The WerteUnion in Bavaria sees this as the first step towards the deindustrialization of Germany. Dr. Thomas Jahn, deputy chairman of the WerteUnion, explained: “The closure of our plants will indeed lead to a reduction in C02 emissions in Germany, but this would not have any positive effect on the environment. The deindustrialization of Germany is rather shifting production to countries with low environmental standards, above all the People’s Republic of China. The WerteUnion in Bavaria sees this as a threat to the fundamental values of the free world, especially the market economy.”

Sounds like kindred souls across the big pond.  It's just a matter of time before this crap  is finally exposed, and the public finally realizes that "man made" global warmng is the biggest scam concocted in human history.

Maybe some Germans might question  paying more than a "fair share" in the EU, decide to look at Brexit, etc.

Very True.  Considering the climate accords dictate freezing or reducing CO2 emissions, Joe Q Public doesn't realize CO2 is really not a viable pollutant that lends itself to abatement.  Things like NOX, CO, SO2, and others can be addressed with improved burner technologies, but pretty much the only way to reduce CO2, is reduce fossil fuel use.  Wind is not that practicle on a large scale, especially in places like Europe where real estate is at a premium. And I am sure new Nuclear is not a prefered source of new power over there.   Typically reducing fossil fuel use at the plant level correlates to lowered industrial outputs.  That of course has economic implications that the enivorwhackos care not to discuss.
