@rahmstorf ...meanwhile in germany the "most urgent issue" is migration and closing borders ๐Ÿคช and the US are falling apart, ending all programs that would help anyone in need - but instead are looted by oligarchs.

"Climatechange? Yeahyeah... we need a pricetag for that. Maybe we can consider it for the budget next year..."

@grootinside @rahmstorf especially as there will most likely a lot more migration because of climatechange, so doing something against climatechange is also doing something against more migration, but that would be to logical.
@rahmstorf Sure it's 20C and not 20K?

@rahmstorf #Trump knows. That's why he wants to buy #greenland and all the resources that will surface in the future. At the same time he will continue to deny the existance of #climatechange
