Merkel's climate record "a planetary disaster" ā opinion
The Guardian
The German chancellorās track record on environmental policy has been a disaster, writes George Monbiot in an opinion piece for The Guardian. āWhat counts, and should be judged, as she seeks a fourth term as German chancellor in the elections on Sunday, is what is done, not what is said. On this metric, her performance has been a planetary disasterā, writes Monbiot. Merkelās actions included āfilthy dealsā to preserve the well-being of Germanyās car industry, while the countryās greenhouse gas emissions had plateaued.
