Die SZ berichtet heute über einen klimapolitischen Wahnsinnsmove der Bundesregierung.
Sie will möglich machen, europäische Strafzahlungen wegen zu wenig Klimaschutz aus dem Topf zu bezahlen, der Klimaschutz finanzieren soll.
Wodurch weniger Geld für Klimaschutz da wäre.

Thought about this all day and don't have an answer. But we've only got 50 "laboratories of democracy" (derogatory), so wtf are we supposed to do if state-level DDs are all underpowered?
For example, we've recently learned that virtually all state-level DiD's are probably incredibly underpowered.
