    But climate goals have been clearly missed. This will not have any direct political consequences because the federal government has adapted the Climate Protection Act accordingly. By 2030, greenhouse gas emissions in Germany are expected to fall by 65 percent compared to 1990. This is what it says in the Climate Protection Act. Germany should become climate neutral by 2045, meaning it will no longer emit any CO2. How much the country...

    Methods for binding CO₂. Storage of carbon dioxide is particularly difficult at room temperature because it is then a gas.

    From four new studies, I would say that the risk is significantly greater. However, there are certain consequences of global warming.

At the tipping point of the North Atlantic circulation, however, we are talking about a risk...
