Die SZ berichtet heute über einen klimapolitischen Wahnsinnsmove der Bundesregierung. Sie will möglich machen, europäische Strafzahlungen wegen zu wenig Klimaschutz aus dem Topf zu bezahlen, der Klimaschutz finanzieren soll. Wodurch weniger Geld für Klimaschutz da wäre.

Deutschland droht die Klimaziele zu verfehlen. Doch statt mehr Klimaschutz zu machen, will sie aus dem gleichen Topf CO₂-Zertifikate kaufen.

Gaza | The scale of human suffering and the stripping of human dignity have long exceeded every acceptable standard, both legal and moral. This tragedy must end now. Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC President: ms.spr.ly/63327sGyPt
"There is no excuse for what’s happening in Gaza.

This tragedy must end now, immediately and decisively.

Every political hesitation, every attempt at justification of the horrors being committed under international watch, will forever be judged as a collective failure to preserve humanity in war.”
