Greenhouse emissions of 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.
Comment: Naturally. The targets have no basis in the reality of the situation.
According to the current climate protection law, the ministry responsible for underperforming sectors must launch an immediate program to put them back on track.
The transport minister has so far resisted introducing such a program for the sector, saying incoming amendments to the climate protection law would allow the sector to miss its CO2 cuts target if Germany's total emissions target is met.
Comment: What about electric cars? Oh wait, they will have to ban those too when there's an energy shortage as their green alternatives are nowhere near enough to meet demand.
