The grassroots
initiative Werte Union
( aka "Values Union" )
in Bavaria,
considers it
proven that
the sun controls
the climate, not
carbon dioxide
( C02 )
New German
climate laws,
they claim,
are insignificant
for the climate,
yet:
“threaten the foundations
of freedom, prosperity
and market economy”.
The conservative
grassroots movement
within the Christian
Socialist Union (CSU)
criticizes the
EU “Green Deal”
presented by EU
Commission President
Ursula von der Leyen.
Werte Union
in Bavaria
sees this
as the first step
towards the
deindustrialization
of Germany.
Dr. Thomas Jahn,
deputy chairman
of the Werte Union,
explained:
“The closure of our plants
will indeed lead to a
reduction in C02 emissions
in Germany, but this would
not have any positive effect
on the environment.
The deindustrialization
of Germany is rather
shifting production
to countries with
low environmental
standards, above all
the People’s Republic
of China.
The Werte Union
in Bavaria sees this
as a threat to the
fundamental values
of the free world,
especially the
market economy.”
Chemist
Dr. Christian Steidl,
member of the Federal
Executive Board of the
Werte Union e.V., said
"Over the last
600 million years,
C02 has
demonstrably
not controlled
the climate,
and there is
no scientific
evidence
as to why
it should be
any different
at the moment.”
Werte Union
in Bavaria
has announced
an educational
offensive:
The fact that
ice ages were not
triggered by a
reduction of the
C02 content in the
atmosphere, was
already proven
in 1913 by
the Marburg
mineralogy
professor
Emanuel Kayser
( Zentralblatt
für Mineralogie etc.,
1913, p. 769. ).
The strong
correlation
of the climate, over
the last 100 years,
with the intensity
of sunspots is
proven in detail.
Professor Dr. Henrik
Svensmark studies
the influence of
solar cycles
on climate,
and cosmic rays
on cloud formation.
The Werte Union Bayern
– Konservativer Aufbruch
has adopted a climate
manifesto calling for
a withdrawal of C02
pricing plans, and
an open debate
on the the real causes
of climate fluctuations.
