German Greens Praying For A Mild Winter
When the German Greens need an energy crisis bailout, suddenly warming is welcome.
Normally climate alarmists are convinced that warm weather can only be bad for us, no matter where or when.
They complain that the summers are too hot and we no longer get cold and snowy winters like we used to.
Mild winters, they say, are a climate disaster that will doom us!
The warmth is only causing trouble for everything and there’s nothing good about it. We have to cool the planet back to 1700s temperature levels, they keep suggesting.
But now that Germany’s energy supply crisis is dangerously intensifying, Federal Economics Minister Robert Habeck (Green Party) is desperately scrambling for ways to somehow get the country through the winter without the gas supply running out and millions of people freezing.
One way is pleading for Germans to turn the heat in their homes way down to not deplete the gas supply before the cold weather ends next May. But that alone won’t be enough.
Now, ironically, Habeck is also hoping for a warmer winter to bail out the country from its energy crisis. A warm winter will mean burning less gas and help the country avoid untold misery.
Alas – warming to the rescue!
He said recently, in mid-September:
“If everything goes well in terms of saving gas and we are lucky with the weather, then we have a chance of getting through the winter well.”
Here he of course means if the winter is warm – and not cold and snows like the winters they long to return to – we might get through it without freezing to death before spring finally arrives. Please, please, please let it be warm, Habeck and his greens are hoping now.
To deal with the looming winter energy crisis, most countries in Europe are aiming to save 15 percent. In Germany, however, the government is pushing for savings of 20 percent, and mild winters are welcome again.

The global warming greens do not know how to pray. Why would they since they can now rely on global warming to save them from a harsh winter with no reliable heating source. Let them burn windmills, Teslas and solar panels to stay warm.

So, these climate clowns now want warming to protect their stupid energy policies from being proven to be worthless. Bring on the cold that will demonstrate that they have made Germany into a weak energy country. That’s not mean of me because Mother Nature will do what she wants, regardless and she has a way of proving these idiots to be, well, idiots. Definition of an idiot is one who does not know what is going on around them.
A few years back, the UK assumed there would never be any snow and made the populace put in heating systems that could not work at below freezing temperatures as the systems would freeze, literally. They believed the climate activists and never did the due diligence to understand reality. In the next three years, the UK was, at one point each winter, completely covered with snow, end to end, north to south. Yeah, the climate warmists have not EVER been right. So, why do the politicians think they need to go with what these idiots say. This bespeaks a political agenda that has nothing to do with reality.
