  1. The trees are dying off all around the world right now , might as well just finish them off and get it over with. Homosapiens are not smart enough to survive our own greed.

  2. Good thing burning wood doesn't release CO2.

  3. meanwhile elites fly private jets

  4. Great, now they going to cut down all the trees and have nothing left.

  5. Have a great winter!
    This is what foolishness does to fools!

  6. Germany need become independent from their government or the end up like usa democrats depending on government for payment to breathe and msnbc for news..

  7. Stupid fks did this to themselves

  8. Lmaoooo This is the opposite of green, the C02 emitted from burning wood for power is far more than oil and coal especially in quantity needed, why do you think second world and third world countries are labeled that? Less industry more raw material production

  9. Sounds very environmentally safe. Burn trees to make heat.

  10. Prefer pig scat,
    Pigshit equals methane gas ⛽ 💯😅✊

  11. There was Germany before Russian Gas.
    There will be Germany after Putin’s
    Empire Collapses. 😉☝🏼

  12. They should have known better seeing what their history is in sponsoring Nazi regimes like the one in Ukraine…

  13. Great idea , Germans are so smart all countries should follow.

  14. This is not new. They may have increased production… but far from new.

  15. Weird how Donald Trump called this at a UN meeting and the German representatives were openly laughing at him…….who is laughing now you idiots!

  16. I'm use to german engineering going forward, not backwards.

  17. Germans are brilliant engineers, they can figure things out,,

  18. Klaus Swaub the CIA goldfish from American Dad says we will own nothing by 2030
    #BeingSaneInInsanePlaces

  19. A poor thing in desperation. RS has entirely cut gas supply to germany as this country announces its gas reserve at 80% fill. France is the next target while the EU cries out loud by moaning on no RS gas. Lol for the boys' cry in tears after they play the mean sanction games on RS. This winter may not be a harsh snowing winter but the ice might be thick enough for 5 freezing months.

  20. Humanity is basically doing anything it can to avoid moving to next-gen nuclear energy. It's almost like we're the neanderthals who were afraid of fire and would rather wonder out into the wilderness and die than embrace technology.

  21. No more trees=> no more O2 . They gonna die

  22. Before you've got your knickers in a twist: 1/3 of Germany's territory is out of forests, thereof 97% is used for timber production. These trees would have been chopped anyway.

  23. A simple solution stick Putin in the wood chipper.

  24. They laughed at Trump who told them all they rely to much on Russia

  25. …why not coal from Britain…?

  26. I don't care how anyone suffers from not doing business with Russia anymore.
    Suffer, perish from us…
    The fact you ever did business with Russia…
    Just freeze to death… the same people who allowed the nazi's… weak worthless beasts… freeze beasts

  27. If they're not making blankets out of those wood chips, I'm sorry to say but that's not gonna help with climate change.

  28. We all should help each other but none of us should loose our own countries independence to the point where without that country your in deep trouble! Yrs ago I read about one tiny country that uses corn oil instead of crude oil and they got their independence they got off crude oil! New alternatives are needed to supply our energy so no country can trump another holding it prisoner! INDEPENDENCE is freedom!

  29. Those German men looked so German..

  30. NBC, turned to serpents and fabricated lies.
    NBC personnel and guests serve the Antichrist
    Hive slaves to Satan
    Weakling tinkle phairies licking Skeletors unholy krotch
