It’s terrible. The Europeans, who routinely claim to be morally superior to the greedy American species, are now yelping about the cost of climate change legislation. The Germans, in this case, actually want to sacrifice the planet’s future for their own selfish purposes. Explains Deutsche Welle:
At a meeting of government and industry officials on Tuesday, July 15, Germany’s Deputy Economics Minister Jochen Homann and all other speakers said that the EU plan was not business-friendly.
“The conclusion of the conference is that there is only limited scope for reducing “emissions” in the industrial sector and the EU climate package needs improvement in key areas,” said the ministry in a statement.
The ministry was particularly critical of the EU’s goal to cut the quota of emissions trading permits by 21 percent, compared to 2005 levels, saying this would cost Germany both jobs and growth. As a major burner of fossil-fuels, which cause unwanted CO2 emissions, Germany would be especially hard hit by the plan, added the ministry.
The statement also pointed out that an emissions trading program would result in a price hike for products that are useful in reaching climate goals, such as insulation glass and insulating construction materials.
Where will it end? Next they will start claiming that a wealthier society is better able to meet environmental challenges.

One of my favorite lines is that the price of gasoline is the beginning of wisdom. As these realities multiply and people become aware of the costs of greenie lunacy society will start to ask the questions that should have been asked in 1962 when Rachel Carson entered the world of literature as a science fiction writer. Yes, the price of gasoline is just the beginning of wisdom. Well it turns out that the mounting costs of greenie lunacy will cause society to have the fullest grasp of wisdom. It is impossible to throw out everything that makes modern living possible and maintain modern living. DUH! What in the world was everyone thinking? Let’s all say it again and let’s get it right…..to be green is to be irrational and misanthropic.
Number one is raising animals for food. Please read the UN 2006 report on climate change. If we stop eating meat, we will stop climate change. It doesn’t cost you any penny; just the will to change your eating diet.
