As a German citizen, you should be aware that your country just veto’s sanctions on Russia so that they could keep the flow of natural gas coming.

It happened due to reasons independent of CO2.

Repeating this doesn't help the problem Germany is in right now. Independent of it Germany did push a lot into solar
