Ok, so let me try to summarise today's verdict by the Federal Court of Justice, Germany's highest civil law court @BGH_Bund :

Globally active πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ automakers cannot be held legally accountable for causing excessive CO2 emissions #Climate because:

* Germany's obligations under Paris do not imply liability by automakers for their contribution to prospective exceedance of targets

facit: only countries with dictatorship are able to restrict effectively C02 limits
China is best example for it and US is best for breaking all limits.
However democracy & capitalism cannot be fenced in for destroying nature.

I wouldn't put it like that at all. The majority of people know and accept that climate politics are necessary. It does not oppose, for the large part, listening to science. But the public debate is shaped by economic and power interests deeply intertwined with politics - from media messaging to propaganda campaigns to straight economic muscling. Which means, imo: our systems, especially the economy, have to be democratised more. Democracy - is not a finished project. It has to evolve.

Second that.
Sadly, time has already run out. Oh, and mankind is heading in the opposite direction.
