Die Klimakrise ist lösbar. Wir haben die wesentlichen Technologien, deren Kosten sinken dramatisch und deren Anwendung wächst exponentiell, weltweit.
Damit wir es rechtzeitig schaffen braucht es ein klares Bekenntnis der Politik, keine weitere Subventionierung fossiler Energien und ein Ende der fossilen Lobbymacht.
