Show me one country governed by a green majority. Also, prove the majority vote for SPD and CDU is based in a support for coal and not just climate being not a priority when voting.

    Not sure what your point is and I don't mean it's good, but Baden Württemberg is at least a state governed by the green.

    Anyways I think we should move all elections to mid summer - that should get some people to consider climate issues when voting.

    Baden-Württemberg is not a country.

    My point is it is pointless to point at Germany for "supporting" coal burning electricity. Germany is not a singularity here and has the same problems with conservative politicians as any other european country.

    I explicitly said "at least a state".

    Because Germany is a republic of former countries, which are accordingly called "Länder" i.e. countries.

    In German, yes these are called "Länder", but in this case it does not translate to "countries".

    Climate not being a priority is the ground for leaders to support coal and overall inaction.

    Same as in France, where Macron said (again) that he couldn't possibly anticipate a historical canicule event, even though there was one in 2003, and scientists and activists have been warning that France was warming up at least twice faster than the rest of the world.

    Same in Canada where Carney rescinded almost all climate policies in favor of oil business.

    It's time to recognize our collective responsibility here: we elect ignorant idiots!
