> in fact you could argue that their denuclearization is the very reason Russia has so much leverage in the situation

> The German government tried to force people to use more renewable energies and electric cars by introducing the CO2 tax.

Since both are not adequate replacements, costs for heating, electricity and transportation exploded.

This is total nonsense. The subsidy for fuel prices were introduced due to rapidly rising costs for fuel shortly before the war started.

Those costs didn't rise because of the CO2 tax.

The fuel subsidy also doesn't reduce energy taxes, but explicitly fossil fuel taxes for cars only.

"cookie" consent exists because of laws.

If it's gonna happen at all, there will be a law enforcing that, because it's not in the interest of website owners (which also leads to the dark patterns in the dialogues).

If there is law, people can sue, which usually is enough for companies to (usually) follow it

This isn't the case for do not track afaik

> Climate change is causing distress, anger and other negative emotions in children and young people worldwide, a survey of thousands of 16- to 25-year-olds has found.

> The results, released in a preprint on 14 September1, found that most respondents were concerned about climate change, with nearly 60% saying they felt ‘very worried’ or ‘extremely worried’. Many associated negative emotions with climate change — the most commonly chosen were ‘sad’, ‘afraid’, ‘anxious’, ‘angry’ and ‘powerless’ (see ‘Climate anxiety’). Overall, 45% of participants said their feelings about climate change impacted their daily lives.

Especially true since costs such as carbon emissions aren't internalized yet into the electricity cost.
