What support? Merz and Reiche don't count.
Why not? Merz is the chancellor after all. It's safe to assume the majority of voters wanted him to be in power, even if they are all retirees and idiots.
We don't vote our chancellor, nor our ministers. We vote our parliament, the parliament votes the chancellor, the chancellor appoints their cabinets.
That is no excuse, our majority has been voting again and again for a mixture of CDU and SPD - two parties that give a fuck about the environment. And the AFD is probably gaining more and more votes. This country is becoming a total shit show. Aber die Grünen...
Show me one country governed by a green majority. Also, prove the majority vote for SPD and CDU is based in a support for coal and not just climate being not a priority when voting.
Not sure what your point is and I don't mean it's good, but Baden Württemberg is at least a state governed by the green.
Anyways I think we should move all elections to mid summer - that should get some people to consider climate issues when voting.
Baden-Württemberg is not a country.
My point is it is pointless to point at Germany for "supporting" coal burning electricity. Germany is not a singularity here and has the same problems with conservative politicians as any other european country.
I explicitly said "at least a state".
But my request you tried to answer asked explicitely for countries.
Climate not being a priority is the ground for leaders to support coal and overall inaction.
Same as in France, where Macron said (again) that he couldn't possibly anticipate a historical canicule event, even though there was one in 2003, and scientists and activists have been warning that France was warming up at least twice faster than the rest of the world.
Same in Canada where Carney rescinded almost all climate policies in favor of oil business.
It's time to recognize our collective responsibility here: we elect ignorant idiots!
