You are asking the wrong question. Of course you can save CO2 with a speed limit and of course it also saves something if people take public transport instead of the car. But the question is whether these are the best solutions we have. And here the 9€ ticket is a big question mark. It only benefits people who live where there is already good public transport. Monthly passes can be obtained almost everywhere for under €100 or the full cost for 300 km of driving (probably significantly less in city traffic). Price therefore cannot be the decisive problem. For this reason, public transport is now definitely cemented in the “bad but cheap” corner, because it cannot be further expanded at dumping prices.

If you are looking for the best solutions, i.e. the solutions that save as much as possible for little money and effort, you quickly end up with emissions trading. Trading pollution rights is of course highly suspicious in the left and green spectrum. But ultimately emissions trading leads, on the one hand, to savings where savings are cheap. And on the other hand, the amount of pollution is much more precisely controllable than reducing car traffic emissions indirectly multiple times through increased public transport usage via cheaper tickets.

And here we are again with a quintessentially German problem:

Solutions must never be simple, they have to be as complicated as possible and produce a lot of work at first. Furthermore, we must first think about why proposals are not good enough. This process then takes a few years and the solution to the problem moves into the background because you simply cannot find the perfect solution. So you rather do nothing, because then at least you don’t implement the less good solution.

Dear Trollpeter, how exactly do these people endanger your job and your future? So far, all you have come up with are incredibly empty buzzwords, and even when asked, you never get specific.

Oetti, are you possibly a criminal and climate clown? These people have neither the education nor an interest in a strong economic location. The structures are anti-democratic, the demands no longer have majority support (for good reason).

And here we are again with a typically German problem:

Solutions must never be simple; they have to be as complicated as possible and produce a lot of work at first. Besides, we first have to think about why proposals are not good enough. This process then takes several years, and solving the problem moves into the background because the perfect solution simply cannot be found. So people prefer to do nothing at all because at least then they are not implementing the less good solution.

The solution is neither complicated nor does it take years. Emissions trading already exists in most sectors. What’s missing is the political will to actually use it. Instead, CO2 prices are fixed for years (fuel, heating) or limited to individual sectors. Out of misguided consideration, individual sectors are taken out of emissions trading. That won’t work, of course.

It’s not just the question of supposedly simple solutions like a cheapest ticket for public transport. All the detailed regulations on heating and building envelopes also stem from the compulsion to precisely monitor what happens (that is the real German problem). And because of well-intentioned but poorly executed regulations, in the coming years numerous gas heating systems will be replaced by heat pumps instead of renovating the building envelope with the same money and actually doing something for the environment. Money is finite and therefore we must use it as efficiently as possible.

If they do not have majority-supported demands, their demands cannot threaten jobs either. They could only do that if they were majority-supported – but then it would be democratic to follow these demands. They could threaten your job if, through their crimes, they directly put your job or your customers out of play. Do they have that?

Oetti, are you possibly a criminal and a climate clown? These people have neither the education nor an interest in a strong economic location. The structures are anti-democratic, the demands no longer broadly acceptable (for good reason).

Dear Bookstar87, are you perhaps really just a trollpeter? Please tell me exactly how the climate glue people are destroying your job and your future. Is it really so hard to answer that for yourself? And you have this education? You can’t even manage to answer a simple question. What, for you, makes a strong economic location? Let everything continue as before and rely on internal combustion engines?
