I feel sorry to break it to you, but this is very likely to help the AfD elsewhere. - People concerned about social sanctions for supporting AfD will update. - Uncertain people often support what an identifiable „majority“ supports. - Many people like to support the winning side. Be prepared!

A key issue is whether BSW will get above 5%. If they do, then it’s the worst possible outcome. If they don’t, AfD might not be able to govern, as the others would all vote against them. Either way, though, it’s a disaster for Germany and Europe.

44,5% for AfD in Saxony Anhalt at 76,5% all-time turnout record. I guess this is very well to the tail of worst imaginable results for Berlin.

There's a lot of great work in political science on variants of "why/when do mainstream parties accommodate the radical right, and with what consequences?" but not as much on "why doesn't the radical right moderate, and if so when and with what consequences?"

It is much simpler: We know what we emitted since we know how much fossil fuel has been burned. And that’s twice as much as has accumulated in the atmosphere. So nature hasn’t been a source but a sink: oceans and forests took up half. And that’s also observed fact. www.climate.gov/news-feature...
climate.gov
How do we know the build-up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is caused by humans?
Fossil fuels are the only source of carbon dioxide large enough to raise atmospheric carbon dioxide amounts so high so quickly.
