Angela Merkel and Climate Change

Hat tip PI News, Vlad Tepes and Gates of Vienna


This past week, Europe has been undergoing an extreme heat wave. These things happen from time to time, but now the Climate Change crowd is seizing on any fluctuation in temperatures to decry the coming end of mankind-unless we turn ourselves over to global governance and ban cars, airplanes (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez),  and even skyscrapers (Bill deBlasio).

Something else interesting occurred last week in Germany. Chancellor Angela Merkel has been seen in public on two occasions visibly shaking. Green Party chairwoman Annalena Baerbock had a ready explanation: Merkel, argues Baerbock, is falling victim to Climate Change.

One recalls a previous time when Germany fell victim to madness. In the closing months of World War II, Hitler was seen with his left hand visibly shaking, so much so, he held it clasped behind his back while walking. As crazy as things were in those days, not even the craziest Nazi suggested that Hitler's malady was due to Climate Change. More likely, his health decline was more due to plunging the world into the worst war in history and watching virtually every major German city being bombed into ruin. Merkel, for her part, has also (in a different weay) brought Europe to a dangerous point in history. She is under a lot of criticism and a lot of pressure. But as soon as it gets hot in Europe, lunatics like the Greens are ready to pounce on Climate Change as the reason for Merkel's problems.

Maybe Ms Baerbock would like to throw her hat in the ring for the US Democrat presidential nomination. She could be here in time for the next debate.
