German Minister Slams Far-Right AfD Over Climate Policy Rejection
Federal Environment Minister Carsten Schneider (SPD) has spoken out against the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD)'s stance on climate policy. Schneider criticizes the AfD's outright rejection of climate change policy, which has led to growing frustration among citizens and activists.
Schneider specifically addressed the 'Klimaschmelz-Kleber-Protester' activists who oppose the AfD's climate change policy positions. The AfD is known for denying or downplaying climate change and opposing many climate protection measures. Schneider points to these activists as a source of anger and frustration among many citizens.
Schneider warns that climate protection has become entangled in broader societal and political polarization in recent years. He calls for less division over climate change policy, urging all parties to work together to tackle the pressing issue of climate change.
Schneider's comments highlight the growing tension between climate activists and the AfD's climate change policy positions. As climate change becomes an increasingly urgent issue, Schneider emphasizes the need for unity and cooperation in addressing it.
