unfortunately, it isn't "just Germany" the whole EU seems OK with ignoring the urgency science proves the sittuation demands. And this was already an watered-down decision...

@marado Ahh yeah I remember that Yarn well 👌
It's very frustrating that between large corporations and nations nobody (including Australia who are some of the worst offenders here with lack of climate action) are taking this very seriously 🤦♂️
Like can we just stop mining and burning Coal already?! 🤔
