German Climate Kookery Threatens Driving on Weekends

from Moonbattery:

Left unchecked, leftists will erase Germany. The last Germans will see their liberties progressively choked off to nothing in the name of the green ideology that has been employed to destroy them. Soon they may be forbidden from driving on weekends to please the climate:

Germany’s transport minister has warned that driving will have to be banned at the weekends unless the country’s net zero laws are changed.

Volker Wissing’s FDP party wants the law amended so the polluting transport sector can miss carbon emissions reduction targets, as long as Germany as a whole reaches them.

But the change is opposed by the Greens, who are part of the three-way coalition with the pro-business FDP and the Social Democrats (SPD), led by Olaf Scholz, the chancellor. …

Greenhouse emissions in Europe’s biggest economy fell to the lowest level in 70 years in 2023, but the transport sector has been consistently failing to meet its climate targets.
