The term “climate change” has become a common term, an empty cipher. Anyone who says “climate change” obscures power relations and hides those who cause them. In the hot summer of 2023, with the hottest month on record, with forest fires in Rhodes, Euboea, Maui, large parts of Canada and many other places, then with storm “Daniel” ravaging entire areas in Greece and Romania and also responsible for the flooding of the Libyan city of Darna this summer, during which the global temperature was above the plus 1.5 degree mark for several weeks, every disaster report had a theme: that “climate change” was to blame. In relation to heat waves in southern Europe, China and the USA, the NZZ stated that “climate change” “made such high temperatures "; SRF wrote that winds, drought and lightning caused devastating fires on Maui and that "climate change" is "exacerbating" all of these factors. . IN ZEIT You may have read that "climate change" may be the cause of the migration of sea turtles to the Balearic Islands, recently "climate change" is also threatening European beer production, and in general "climate change" is responsible for floods, erosion and drought.
