When you give people the option to vote, and not the climate grifters, no one seems to give a damn about the so-called “climate emergency.” Even in Green Party-rule Germany. From No Tricks Zone:
UPDATE 21:05 CET: Berlin election office:
FINAL RESULT: The Berlin referendum for a climate-neutral city by 2030 HAS FAILED RESOUNDINGLY. [emphasis, links added]
Although there was a narrow majority of votes in favor, the 442,210 “yes” votes fell far short of the 25% quorum of all eligible voters (607,518 votes) needed to make the referendum valid.
Yes: 442,210
No: 423,418
The result shows that only 18% of Berlin’s 2,430,000 voters cared enough to go out and vote for a measure against the “climate crisis”.
Before The Vote
Berliners are going to the polls today in a referendum on whether or not to make the city “climate-neutral” already by 2030 instead of 2045.
That’s quite a lofty goal for a chaotic, financially broken city that couldn’t even build an airport.
Polls showing slight lead for “klimaneutral ja”.
And no campaign in Berlin has seen funding to this scale. According to media reports, most funding has come from foreign countries, mainly from far-Left groups in the USA.
According to a report by online Bild here, one wealthy New York couple (Albert Wenger und Susan Danziger) even donated half a million euros to fund a campaign to get the people to vote “ja” [Yes].
Should Berliners vote to make the German capital CO2 neutral by 2030, it would mean enacting an amendment that would force the city of Berlin to achieve climate neutrality by 2030 instead of 2045.
This would affect almost every aspect of Berlinian life, from transportation to heating to widescale major building renovation.
Foreign funding
The amendment is being pushed by the Green Party and radical groups like Fridays for Future and Extinction Rebellion, which are largely financed by foreign funders like the Climate Emergency Fund, Abigail Disney, and Hollywood film director Adam McKay.
If the amendment gets adopted, immense power will be transferred to a small group of unelected people, a so-called Climate Protection Council of “experts”, appointed by the Berlin Senate. Climate targets for 2045 would turn into climate legal obligations for 2030.
Huge restrictions, astronomical costs, loss of private property
Critics warn this would mean many more restrictions on freedom, Berliners might even have to say goodbye to their cars completely. Under the amendment, the Berlin airport would be a part of the climate budget, thus posing the risk of reducing the number of flights.”
Moreover, property owners would be forced to make largescale, costly renovations and have to install solar panels. No one knows where the money is magically supposed to come from.
Unachievable, pie-in-the-sky
Critics are speaking up, however, calling the radical climate project “factually impossible” and “out of the question”, noting that even the original 2045 target timetable was almost impossible to meet,” Bild reports.
Recent opinion polls show the results of today’s referendum are expected to be very close, slightly tipping in favor of the referendum.
We’ll report the results this evening as they become available.
This means there’s a good chance that the City of Berlin might well end up being an even greater basket case than California. Somebody needs to lead the way to show the rest of the world what a folly rapid climate neutrality can be.

The result of the referendum is nothing to celebrate and the headline “Fails Spectacularly” is misleading. The margin of those favoring the referendum was 4%. That means 4% of Berlin’s voters were so poorly informed and so stupid to vote for a measure that would go a long way towards shutting down the city. This shows the impact of constant propaganda from the mainstream media the heavy influence of billionaire donors.

I seems apathy is wide spread to including Berlin. It astounds me to realise that over 400,000 supposed intelligent people voted “for” this and worse still, out of 2.4 million eligable voters, only 18% considered that matter serious enough to bother to vote.
This confirms n my mind that Western civilisation is finished.
The people deserve what they get because they are prepared to believe in nonsense or are just too lazy to pay attention to what’s going on around them.
