“Leiningen!” he shouted. “You’re insane! They’re not creatures you can fight–they’re an elemental–an ‘act of God!’ Ten miles long, two miles wide–ants, nothing but ants! And every single one of them a fiend from hell; before you can spit three times they’ll eat a full-grown buffalo to the bones.

From "Leiningen Versus the Ants" 1938

Ants love that this is how powerful people think they are.

@EUCommission 55% will still not be enough. We would have been better off if climate change would have been taken seriously since the beginning and not as a last resort thing just because we feel a tiny bit of uncomfortable since the last years. The EU is experiencing a huge authorative backlash, neo-fascist parties get to power, conservatives align with their talking points, here in Germany we have a new government which will make any progress in a good direction into nothing.

Your "goal" needs to be superseeded, so we can at least get less degrees Celsius than without ANY measurement. We have to get through this somehow. But it can only work if poltiicians on national and supranational level finally begin to include measurements which WILL hurt. Drastic measures, enforcing change and bringing those who still profit from this situation we ALL on this earth are in to responsibility.

No more nice words and goals which will not be held in 20 years. YOU need to act NOW!
