FDP Minister Wissing deals with speed limit arguments: “Doesn’t convince me”. A limit of 120 kilometers per hour could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by around 6.7 million tons of CO2 equivalents.
Transport and building sectors in particular are causing problems, he says. Last August, the Federal Council of Experts on Climate Issues once again confirmed that the federal government was not on track to achieve the climate target for 2030. By then, Germany would have to emit 65 percent fewer greenhouse gases than in 1990.
