The effects of man-made global warming can be seen more and more frequently around the world. This climate disaster will not stop even in Germany. Here, too, we have been confronted for a long time with dying forests, drying up of lakes and bogs, and severe floods - a cry for help from the climate. The IPCC reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change say again and again: We must act now. At worst, we will reach the 1.5 degree climate target between 2030 and 2035 – but very likely before 2040. (Benjamin Thiessen, Matthias Schwarzer, more at nw.de)
