"Schlaustärke. Klimaschutz statt Fake News"
“Fake news (...) is deliberately false or misleading information that is often disseminated in the form of news. It is deliberately created to manipulate public opinion, spread misinformation or pursue specific political, social or economic goals. Fake news can take the form of articles, images, videos or social media posts and is often difficult to distinguish from real news. Due to their often deliberately emotional nature, they often spread virally on social networks without editorial control.
The spread of fake news can have serious consequences, including distorting public opinion, spreading distrust of established media and institutions and, in some cases, even encouraging violence or social unrest” (source: wikipedia)
Newspapers from the Springer press in Germany headline: “Germany facing the solar debacle”. This is one of many fake news stories in this regard. The energy transition is going much better than the right-wing scaremongers from BILD, WELT and others would have us believe. Wind turbines and solar power complement each other well, are comparatively cheap and without them we would no longer be able to meet our current energy needs. But in view of the impending climate collapse, we would have to massively accelerate the change. In fact, disinformation about climate change has been spread for decades, and with fatal success: millions of people are already dying from the consequences of climate change, particularly in the global South, and the actual collapse is still to come. Anyone who spreads such fake news is walking over dead bodies.
