Yes, we know that. Sanchez, who celebrated himself as the hero of migrants just a few weeks ago, also said this week that Spain is under ‘attack’ after he deployed the military following a mass migration influx into the country.

Now he just needs fresh publicity to distract from the endless series of corruption cases in Spain, involving his close allies and family members. That’s really a shame, and it doesn’t help the climate nor migrants, let alone the Spaniards.

This is obviously not limited to Germany or Europe, unfortunately, as the world has been experiencing such heat waves and the related consequences frequently.

In 2023, for example, when China had its warmest year on record since 1850, fatalities caused by heat waves were over 300% higher than the historical average, according to the medical journal The Lancet.

The study recognizes some successes in China to limit the number of heat-related fatalities, but also says:

The absence of a national health adaptation plan limits strategic direction and financial investment. Coal consumption increased … and only 24% of rural homes used clean heating in 2023, leading to exposure to indoor air pollution. Moreover, fossil fuel subsidies continue to grow, further complicating the transition to cleaner energy sources.

Does anyone know what the German or European plans are?

And honestly how much damage could this actually do other than break peoples balcony solar panels?

Is this satirical?

Here is the article by CCC (in German)

China Holds a Kill Switch to European Power Grids (May 2025)

Despite years of debate about supply chain resilience, more than 70 percent of world’s solar inverters come from Chinese manufacturers. The three biggest players – Huawei, Sungrow, and Ginlong Solis – are all Chinese. Here lies the first paradox: Huawei has been banned from a large portion of Europe’s 5G networks due to national security concerns, yet its technology is welcomed into the power grid.

Instead of 2045, Germany should adopt the European target year of 2050 … Germany’s current special path of aiming to become climate-neutral five years earlier than the European Union makes the country more expensive as a business location without achieving any additional climate impact.

It would be better if the world would move toward the German goal rather than the other way around.

But the world doesn’t seem to want that, particularly the world’s biggest emitters: the U.S. seems to quit any emissions reductions at all, and China aims to reach carbon neutrality in 2060, ten years later than the EU (yet China is hailed as the global leader in climate change actions).

The world isn’t on a good path, but I somehow feel Germany isn’t the biggest problem here.
