  1. It will be warm enough soon if thes keep burning coal

  2. Time for the police to go home now. They have made their point, now they should let the people alone. The german police forces should learn that it is not about taking orders from the state, else they will soon turn into NAZI forces again. Go home to your wives and families and don't support the fascist politicians who only protect the property of the millionaires.

  3. It looks like communist country now.

  4. These people won't be happy till we're all wearing hats and mittens to bed.

  5. If Germany is going to mine that sort of fossil fuel, they really should be checking to see if there are metals that can be extracted such as Germanium which comes from some types of coal as a biproduct in the processing stages or even fuel consumption stages. Germany has a superb history of technical thinking including mathematics and of course classical music. They have made great computing and electric products that use metals like germanium such as in FFT or Gaussian mathematics. So whatever they do mine, Germany should not waste the metals extraction (e.g. Germanium) potential or diminsh it. That mitigates ecology outcomes limitations. Examples may include lignites and vitrains in coal beds. Surely somebody there would ask Angela Merkel's opinion on the Germany electronics-computing revenue for Germanium (physics and chemistry) since she is a chemist and knows a thing or two (a lot of science knowledge).
    My comment has no hate in it and I do no harm. I am not appalled or afraid, boasting or envying or complaining… Just saying. Psalms23: Giving thanks and praise to the Lord and peace and love. Also, I'd say Matthew6.

  6. Governments are all talk little to no action on climate change. Once money is removed from politics real change for the better for everyone can happen. Makes little difference what political party is inactive, they are all responsible if they take donations.

  7. The title should be:
    Putin's forces conquer Luetzerath

  8. Anyone who advocates for climate control should live under them rules and lead by example stop driving cars stop buying foods that are produced with oil stop using airplanes until they do they’re just hypocrites

  9. Looks like antifa people… meanwhile the media and celebs use planes all the time traveling the world…

  10. Geonengineering watch global alert news. If you want to fight climate change you better get the big offenders.
