Despite Billions In Green Energy, Germany’s CO2 Levels Don’t Budge

German CO2 equivalent emissions refuse to budge 10 straight years running, despite hundreds of BILLIONS invested in green energies.

As we have been hearing recently, global CO2 emissions continue their steady climb, despite the trillions of dollars committed to green energy sources worldwide and efforts to curb CO2 emissions.

Source: International Energy Agency (IEA).

Looking at countries individually, Germany, a self-designated “leader” for carbon-free energies, saw its equivalent CO2 greenhouse gas emissions in 2017 fall only a measly half a percent.

Big green talk, so little to show

If any country has seen a huge chasm between its CO2 reductions performance and its lofty green rhetoric, Germany is it.

Despite the hundreds of billions already spent on green energies, mainly, wind, sun, and biogas, Paris Accord cheerleader Germany has not seen any progress in CO2 reductions ten years running:

Germany CO2 equivalent emissions, millions of metric tons. Source UBA.

According to Germany’s UBA Umweltbundesamt (Federal Environment Agency), Germany’s reductions still remain stuck at the levels of 10 years ago (2009 = 908 million tonnes CO2 equivalent – see chart above).

Dubious 1990 benchmark

Most of the country’s CO2 reductions since 1990 arose from the shutdown of old communist-run East German industry, after the eastern and western parts of the divided nation united in 1990.

Offshored emissions, pollution

Also, huge CO2 reductions resulted from the offshoring of energy-intensive industries to countries where regulations are less strict, labor is cheaper and energy efficiency is woefully lower; for example China. The true result: Germany managed to cut its CO2 equivalent emissions, but the net result is most likely greater overall CO2 emissions.

The same could be said about plastic in our oceans. Often it’s best to keep the industry home, where at least it’s done far more cleanly.

Huge price for so little result

Moreover, Germany’s investment in green energies really did not begin in earnest until 2005, and so the results have been truly a flop. All that money for so little.

Meanwhile, environmental groups have come out and blasted Germany’s weakling result. Alarmist climate and energy site Klimaretter (Climate rescuer) commented here:  “Germany is practically making no climate change progress at all.”

Greenpeace Germany’s Karsten Smid fumed: “The UBA figures are the bitter result of Chancellor Merkel’s climate policy.”

    Enviromental groups are full of useful idiots their lead by other useful idiots the useful idiots who signed the Paris Accord the useful idiots who took part in the Useful Idiots Climate March and real useful idiots like Al Bore,Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert Kennedy Jr just to name a few Plus Laurie David and the useful idiots from Greenpeace,NRDC and EDF Etc

    Only a fool believes that human generated emissions of carbon dioxide make a dent in Nature’s balance sheet; even the UN IPCC knew that way back in the 1990’s: http://www.ilovemycarbondioxide.com/pdf/IPCC_deception.pdf
    Further to that it is impossible for carbon dioxide to “trap heat” and there is absolutely no such mechanism as the “greenhouse effect” making our beautiful planet warmer than it should be. It’s the Sun, the Oceans and Nature.
    Each and every assertion by climate alarmists and many a well-known “sceptic” is complete BS without any scientific or other evidence.
