On Wednesday evening, Greens co-boss Robert Habeck was the guest of presenter Sandra Maischberger.
It was about climate protection - but also about Annalena Baerbock's bumpy election campaign.
When asked whether he could have run the Green Chancellor candidacy better than his co-chair Baerbock, Habeck said that the two of them were very different types and that things were almost fundamentally opposite. "To that extent, I would have made my own mistakes." There is no debate among the Greens about revising the decision to run for chancellor. Baerbock's mistakes would have caused a "crack" in trust in the Greens. "But we have every chance, and Annalena Baerbock is working to rebuild trust."
The Greens' candidate for chancellor is under criticism because her book “Jetzt. How we are renewing our country «find striking linguistic similarities to other publications. It had previously become known that she had belatedly reported the party's special payments to the Bundestag. The party and candidate also had to correct information in Baerbock's curriculum vitae.
In the ARD program »Maischberger. Die Woche «, Habeck also discussed the topic of climate protection with the moderator. In spite of all the measures, he does not believe that the extreme weather conditions will come to an end. The fact that the weather will change for the better in the foreseeable future will "unfortunately never happen," he said. Even the current situation will not be sustainable. "On the contrary: it won't stay that way, it will get more blatant." The CO₂ (carbon dioxide) has already been emitted, the systems are sluggish, the oceans are slowly warming up, said Habeck.
The only thing that matters is "that global warming is slowed down and curbed in such a way that we as humans can adapt, that we are able to protect our cities and our lives in such a way that we do not experience catastrophic conditions."
In any case, it will be warmer.
“There is no way it will stay the way it is.
Too much has just happened for that. "
