Some day, sure. But we need reliable and clean energy now, not in the distant future.

Exactly! That is why renewable energy (+storage) is the only solution a they are both significantly quicker to build up and significantly cheaper than nuclear already and getting ever more competitive, while the running costs for nuclear have been at the same relatively high level for ages.

If we are the only ones imposing climate regulation, businesses and industries will move abroad where it's cheaper to operate

What are you even talking about exactly. EU regulations for what cars are allowed will be exactly the same whether the cars are manufactured in the EU or elsewhere. And carmakers already have different factories in different regions of the world to serve each market.

Honestly, without some strict rules for European and US car manufacturers to get their shit together, they're only going to fall ever further behind China, which has the biggest EV manufacturer already. Fossil fuel burning combustion engines don't have any future anyway, because fossil fuels are finite, the climate crisis is accelerating ever further and EV are getting more and more competitive (they're already cheaper in the long run for mid and higher class cars). Carmakers aren't being done any favours by allowing them to drag their feet and become ever more obsolete.

Although, I guess it depends mostly on one's browsing style. Whether it's more "quickly skim the content and take a cloaer look at what seems interesting" or a more feed-style consumption.

Personally, I'm not sure I like it that much. The place these kind of layouts are probably most often used are image searches or things where you browse through a lot of stuff to find something. But if you want to look at or scroll through each image individually, having the images next to each other in a non-uniform grid provides a lot of distruction and visual noise imo that makes it harder to focus on the individual image. For me, I think just being able to scroll through each image individually makes for a better experience.

Already mentioned this in a subcomment. Your graph is about CO² specifically. The oeko institut talks about emissions from lifestock, which is mostly methane and a very significant and potent overall contribution to global warming.

Yes, and Germany will probably not be too dissimilar. The difference in magnitude here comes from just looking at directly emitted CO² vs all greenhouse gase emissolns in general. If you add all those up, methane emissions particularly, the picture becomes a very different one. This is also what the oeko institur is talking about their post (emissions from lifestock), so it makes sense to care about that.

Yes, they aren't dumb enough to attend it in person precisely to avoid it falling back on them in a court of law. That's my whole point. Everybody with half a brain can still see what's going on of course.

I don't update daily, but rather every once in a while

Sounds like Slowroll could be for you then. Even if TW is updated infrequently, it's still a roll of the die whether that specific snapshot you will be updating to will be one of the rare ones that have some issues. In theory at least, Slowroll should fix that by trying to handpick some select promising snapshots. Whether that works out as intended in practice will remain to be seen of course, as backporting some security fixes ca of course also introduce potential instabilities.

Thanks! Will take a look.

In combination with these and many more statements made by high ranking AfD members there is no plausible deniability left.

Well, that certainly is a much better and more comprehensive point. It's also just a claim of course and personally I don't have a good enough overview of all the statements made, their relations etc to meaningfully judge that.

You're free to expand on that point in more detail of course. Other than that, I can't meaningfull contribute much here at this point.

Who's "they"? The afd related person sitting most closely to the Afd leadership was "let go" from his position in response to the revelations. And all of them claim they were there in private capacity.

Without further evidence that is hardly worth all that much in front of a court.

that is in davger of being "conquered" by inferior races that have to be deported or murdered to prevent this alleged conquest.

While that's a common talking point on the right, that's not even what the statement is saying. The only ones who are clearly villified in it are the people in power and they're even brandished as supposedly "unconstitutional" (implying the Afd is on the side of the constitution).

It's still complete hogwash of course and pure conspiracy thinking that is gross and detestable in several different ways.

The point is that their ideology gives way to murderous violence.

I don't disagree. My point is only that just saying/claiming that by itself isn't going to hold up in court. If it were, Weidel would have long been sued and found guilty of "Volksverhetzung" for statements like that. But these people, at least the more cunning ones, know how to couch their hate in words that generate some degree of plausible deniability and let their followers fill out the blanks.
