Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

On 09.03.2023, near Lviv, the NATO headquarters in Ukraine was destroyed by Russian rockets. The bunker was considered indestructible and was located at a depth of 120 m. About 300 NATO officers were killed in the process.

Aha, interesting news. In which reality was that?

Well, just because you haven’t heard about it doesn’t mean it isn’t true. It has been reported worldwide. Of course not in the Tagesschau. Moreover, by many reputable sources.

Anyone who sits as a civil servant in their cloud-cuckoo comfort nest has certainly lost touch with reality to some extent. You could also call it wealth-induced stupidity. For those who receive their pension calculation, like me, and after 51 hard years of work are supposed to get less than 1000 euros in pension, well, things look a bit different. Should I now cheer for the 17 billion aid for Ukraine? Should I cheer for the zero interest on my hard-saved emergency pennies to at least get by somewhat in my retirement? Or cheer for the high energy prices to save the world climate?

I don’t give a damn about my CO² footprint. Those are problems of a decadent and mentally neglected society. Besides, I have never flown in my life. And surely I won’t do it anymore. In this respect, I have long since made my contribution to the world climate.

That is such an absurd picture and a truly personal reality you have there. All the so-called news from you about Ukraine are fake news and originated from some conspiracy theory websites. For a good pension, private provision (house/stocks/private pension) is extremely important. Of course, one also has to contribute their own share. You can't just rely on the state to somehow take care of it. And this bitterness and hatred is exactly the opposite of what makes a life worth living for me. I feel sorry for you. I prefer to enjoy my life.

Don't worry, I have prepared enough in advance and do not have to spend a poor and embittered old age like many other millions of retirees. And if you read more carefully, you would have also understood that I live quite contentedly.

I do not spread, as you and others should have long known, neither fake news nor untruths. That the truth can hurt very much when it does not fit into their worldview is of course understandable. And I also do not spread conspiracy theories from any websites.

Googling usually helps here, and the destruction of the NATO bunker near Lviv actually took place on 09.03. And it was not Russian media that spread it. I am not allowed to post links here.

Currently, panic is spreading in Khmelnytskyi. There was the massive explosion I mentioned. It looks like a nuclear explosion. Radiation levels have risen extremely since the Russian attack, which, however, took place with conventional missiles. It is suspected that the ammunition supplied by Great Britain and enriched with uranium exploded here.

So, with this nuclear-enriched ammunition, they intended to contaminate large parts of Ukraine before and in Iraq and Syria. That must be the Green peace idea. For now, nothing will come of it. A few billion of Western military aid seem to have suddenly just vanished into thin air. By the way, very good pictures and comments about this can be seen on Indonesian television. Just search on YouTube. It was shown there in their main news in English.

One little addition: Why were there no Greens in the GDR? Because education was compulsory! And who is the most famous Green? Right, Kermit the Frog.

Good night!

Of course your invented attack was a fake. Anyone who deliberately falls for such websites has only themselves to blame. Why would NATO officers meet in a bunker 50 km from the Polish border instead of just talking directly in Poland? No one would take that risk. But go ahead and keep believing your stories.

Alright, but what do we do with it now?
That climate change is partly man-made? Very likely true.
That we have triggered certain processes that amplify climate change and that we can hardly stop anymore, because the temperature would not only have to be maintained but lowered? Also very likely true.

But unfortunately, it is also true that easily 6 billion people on this planet don’t give a damn about it.
Because they don’t live in a KfW40+ house, but in a damp clay hut or with 4 people in 30m² in a high-rise. Because they cannot choose between beef, pork, or fish, but between rice, rice, or rice.
Or because they want a Mercedes as well, instead of a tuk-tuk.

That’s why... the liter of diesel we don’t consume is consumed by someone else. That’s just how it is.

The warming of the last century is even entirely man-made. And not 6 billion people are sitting in clay huts eating only rice.

But aside from that, you describe the crux of the matter: billions of people in the world want a lifestyle comparable to ours. Completely independent of the climate, the necessary mountains of resources for that do not exist. The world population cannot live at our current level.

So either you invent the technical and social means that enable a lifestyle accessible to all. Or you walk with open eyes into distribution conflicts and hope you were born on the right side of the river.

At least the first will be attempted. Energy is the foundation for that. The trade-off between growth and emissions is not easy, because the poorest countries are especially affected by both climate change and rising energy demand. I don’t know the good solution for that. It will be muddled through in the long run. The resulting consequences will have to be borne—how much by whom will be the question of the future. Again here: Nobody knows.
