Eurobarometer: Junge Europäer sehen Klimawandel als wichtigste Herausforderung
[…]
In der Gruppe der 15- bis 24-Jährigen glauben satte 91 Prozent, die Eindämmung des Klimawandels könne zur Verbesserung ihrer Gesundheit ebenso beitragen wie zu ihrem Wohlergehen.
Klimawandel und Gesundheit - bringt die Verbindung zusätzliche Aufmerksamkeit?
Die üblichen Öko-Kampagnen zum Klimaschutz erreichen viele Menschen nicht oder nur wenig. Eine Alternative wäre, andere Aspekte des Klimawandels stärker zu thematisieren, etwa seine Folgen für die menschliche Gesundheit. Diverse Studien deuten darauf hin, dass dies funktionieren könnte
Nicht, dass es relevant, oder ein wesentlicher Aspekt wäre - nein, bitte exakt lesen - Studien dazu, dass es funktionieren könnte. (Andere Argumentationsebene (die persuasive).)
Sorry für den Exkurs, schnell wieder zurück zum Thema. Na wie sollens die 15- bis 24-Jährigen denn wissen, dass das primär Framing ist (in Mitteleuropa, für sie ihre Kinder und ihre Enkel), wenns ihnen selbst die Qualitätsmedien nicht sagen?
Im Artikel zur Eurobarometer Umfrage ist das dann natürlich kein Wort wert, denn da gehts erneut darum Effekte die PR generiert hat, so umzudeuten, alls seien Sie gesellschaftlich allgemein anerkannt und ‘wenns die Jugendlichen meinen - die Zukunft Europas’. Das ist manufacturing consent nach Chomsky (Propaganda Model).
Who said naive? I didn’t say naive. Certainly not as a job prerequisite for a journalist in that position!
Followed up with - oh, and better ask the European Council on Foreign Relations as well. (Running gag on this blog: European CFR - Thats possible?) Also my first instinct, when being on the edge of a war. Ask a thinktank. Preferably the one sponsored by NATO, Mercator and Microsoft (Context). Sh*t it’s Alpbach all over again!
edit2: Vice News of all outlets, has the most level headed approach to reporting here so far? (DW also broadcast street interviews, but cut them together with differing opinion pieces, and didnt actually integrate much of it into an editorial opinion/positon.)
Exkurs2: Huch, der Standard (Artikel von einer Redakteurin inhouse verfasst) wettert gegen öffentliche Meinungsmache (PR) durch private Denkfabriken! (click). Leider nur im Umfeld des Momentum Instituts, und nicht in der Ukraine Causa, wo “die Stimmung auf Social Media in der Ukraine” als Indikator für kommende Aktionen gewertet wird. Nicht die in Russland, wo der Aggressor die eigene Bevölkerung überzeugen müsste, nein - in der Ukraine, wo man mit “das Volk glaubt der eigenen Regierungsspitze nicht mehr, da die US anhaltend ein anderes Szenario malen - und die Sorge in der Bevölkerung zunimmt von ihrer Regierung belogen zu werden” aufmachen kann. Ohne den Kausalzusammenhang herzustellen - da in dem Fall die Leute auf Social Media ja unabhängige Meinungsbildung repräsentieren. Doppelmoral? I wo… Qualitätsjournalismus.
edit3: This (src: The Telegraph) is also not what journalism looks like. Even though I’ll use it to underline my position. Two journalists babbling to themselves on air, learning and making up relationships on the job and on the fly - so to speak, coming to the conclusion, that “the most alarming assessments are coming from those western capitals” [London and Washington]. A hurray for “Podcast-Journalism”, as some people at reputable media outlets would call it.
edit4: The Agenda with Steve Paikin on the topic. (I love the god damn framing of the austrian participant. “Putin” (as in who knows who), wanted to weaken the europeans, by talking to the US directly - and leaving the impression, that europe does not matter in said conflict, thereby seeding division. Meanwhile, José Borrell is on tape begging the US on a video call, that they should also be included in the (by then only) bilateral talks. So the incredibly devious plan of “Putin” becomes - showing reality on the procedural level, ah f*ck it, on the factual level, provoking statements from Josef Joffe, that Europe doenst matter from any security politics angle whatsoever, and that that is selfinflicted. Devious plan. How dare “Putin” to show Europe, how the US would react! José was begging.
Also great argument by her at around 15:30 in, that diplomacy never matters in foreign politics. Which isnt at all contradictory. (If thats true, the europeans position, is how strong exactly? Oh - I’m sorry, I forgot we resort to double standards again…). That person is flipping payed for her analysis. You can make money by contradicting your position within the same 15 minutes, and telling everyone invasion was coming since 2014, the praetorian guards of the Ukraine would be able, willing and ready and… You can get payed for that… You and your entire institute.
edit5: Oh, so sorry - she is actually payed to rally the troops around, that this will become a bipolar world of democrats against communists, and who knows fighting communists better than Nato, so love Nato, fighting will be saving Democracy! If you pay her, and her entire institute, you pay to get an actionable PR message (and the f*cking bravado in her voice), not just expertise. Otherwise you’d be paying for nothing, according to her own argument. Multipolar? Ts. Bipolar, Bipolar! Grab your weapons now! Copy her speech and tell others! Its about the future of the rules based order! (So was TTIP btw.) Austrian Institute for european and security politics. (Google AIES and Alpbach in your spare time, I cant be bothered to post a link.))
edit6: DW finally has an editorial position! The correspondent even reminds the news anker of the background now (What do I care about my chitchat from yesterday? — Konrad Adenauer). I’m shocked, shocked I tell you, that its the same talking point of “14.000 people have been killed in the Donbas region since 2014” we see in the pep talk towards military (re-)action, disseminating from Hawks in the current situation. Broadcasting street interviews on the mood (towards war) of the general public goes two ways (isnt irrelevant for germany either), you know. Cant let it happen, that in europe the public sentiment moves towards “give in to some of the demands” (which are always impossible to be met of course, as Nato cant say - that it wont admit Ukraine - when, wait a second, the US did so in informal talks around the end of the soviet union?), that would be bad for our negotiating position. So lets stick to red lining, and then war… Better prepare the public! (Of the Ukraine of course, because for western europe its just ‘tougher sanctions, and higher energy costs’.) Oh, and stick around for todays statement of the ECFR (Thats possible?) as well. They’ve a permanently booked spot in DWs reporting by now.
edit7: The ECFRs position “short and long term decoupling of middle europe from russias energy sector” because… Wait for it… “Russia can only survive this century if it has industrial powerhouse nations like the Ukraine (Wait, what? Want to look into the EU investments post 2014 again? The current IMF reports? Or google Ukraine structural dependencies?) in its fold” so western nations should aim at destroying russia, at the cost of their economic development, as well as not being able to realize the green transition (because thats linked to a heavy increase of natural gas consumption midterm, to fastrack the renewable infrastructure build up). Just as a reminder for everyone - thats the thinktank that is the european council on foreign relations (Thats possible?).
(Russland hat 1,25 Millionen aktive Einheiten, sowie 380.000 Reservisten. Die Ukraine berichtet seit mehr als 10 Tagen von 120.000 Einheiten in Grenznähe, davon ein Drittel bereits längerfristig stationiert. Rand hat in einem wargame scenario vor mehr als zwei Jahren eine Teilinvasion der Ukraine mit 130.000 Soldaten simuliert. Wer Pentagon Sprecher um diesen Punkt (Invasion, oder Teilinvasion?) herumeiern sehen möchte: click Der Talkingpoint des “almost completed build-ups” rührt daher: click Die BBC hat ihn heute übernommen und ausstaffiert: click.)
Zur Erläuterung, im bei Lanz gebrachten Argument geht es darum Russland und Deutschland ökonomisch zu entkoppeln (ECFR Vorschlag), denn dann hätte man eine klare Sicherheitsordnung. Und ein riesiges Konfliktpotential mehr (also, bis Russland dann - nach ECFR Projektionen, ökonomisch das nächste Jahrzehnt nicht mehr überlebt, das ist tatsächlich die projizierte Lösung des Problems in dem Theorem) das dann auf größerer Flamme köchelt. Aber endlich wäre die Nato dann wieder relevanter. Wirtschaftswachstum ist doch eh überbewertet. Die EU könnte ja auch ein Militärbündnis werden, und damit der Nato Konkurrenz machen… Ne, Moment, das geht auch nicht, weil dann wäre die Sicherheitsordnung Europas wieder problematisch. Ich würd sagen, einfach der Wille dazu die Wirtschaftsleistung rückzubauen reicht. Das shale gas aus den USA wird ja sicher bald billiger, wenn es keine Marktkonkurrenz mehr gibt. Kann jemand das Nicken beim Lanz noch ein wenig in der Frequenz steigern? Zu meiner und der kollektiven Beruhigung der Wählerschaft.
Es wäre vielleicht auch noch relevant anzumerken, dass es die “Long Term” Position gibt, dass “Putin” aktuell eine Sicherheitsarchitektur für die Grenzregionen Russlands baut, da aus demographischen Gründen aktuell (und später nicht mehr) die Militärische Kapazität vorhanden ist (dafür, aber nicht für mehr) und es ökonomisch weit weniger rosig aussieht. Denn Alexander Graf Lambsdorff sieht die nicht, und baut stattdessen bei Lanz eine andere. “Das Spalten Europas, das Herausdrängen der atlantischen Allianz aus Europa, das sind die Fragen um die es Putin wirklich geht”. (Während die US ihren Fokus geopolitisch auf den Pazifischen Raum verlagert haben.) Experten für das Volk. Verschwörungstheorien für das Volk. Heute lässt sich das nicht mehr ganz so genau trennen. Die Russen kommen. Beim Lanz.
Finally the necessary information reached the political level. First step defiance. Soon to be followed by anger, recognition, acceptance, … What hits me, deeply - is the obvious nature of the political lie on display here. So you are suckling on the tit of international investment funds (coined ‘intelligent money’) to put in investments, that you and your development banks need to leverage to generate even close to enough interest (sixtysix billion to trillions, and then to the moon!), international investment groups are openly stating that they are waiting for regulation to become law facilitating investment protections, before they’ll consider funneling funds into anything coined sustainable, so currently you are depending on your own public to absorb risk, and act as early stage investors to get the whole thing jumpstarted, which according to our financial institutions they arent doing on a broad enough basis, so now you are creating nudging laws (EU laws targeting ‘financial institutes and investment advice’) and finance PR initiatives, because as states you maneuvered yourself into the position, where actual Moonshot programs (large state investment initiatives), arent realizable anymore. Then you look at the investors who are demanding investment protection, and see private US funds just waiting for the opportunity to buy out developments that achieve market maturity, carrying none of the risk - to be certain, that none of it gets manufactured in Europe, which is about the worst place on earth to mass produce goods at this point in time, so this becomes another play beneficial for a high tech industrial sector, which you then sell to voters as the progress they were aching for. Because as a former SPD minister you suddenly believe in trickle down on the international political stage.
But you will prove the critics wrong, dear Olaf - singlehandedly, with a speech in Davos, by mentioning none of that. Bravo. And thanks to all the mouthpieces, that seeded, “if we arent doing this right now - the US will surpass europe on its trajectory of becoming a first mover”. Oh, I’m trembling, shivering - at this very minute, waiting for anything even close to that to materialize.
Looking forward to watching the speeches of UvdL and the talk on restoring trust in global trade and supply chains. Wait, isnt that against trend? Oh no it isn’t, of course they are the ones first impacted by climate shocks, so now we have to put more money and goodwill towards making globalists more resilient, that by everyones accounts failed at giving a flying H-E-double hockeysticks about what happened to our societies the past years - what joy, that they also are invested heavily in the climate movement. But on a positive note, its really a necessity for the industrial powerhouse, that failed to invest at suggested ECB levels for the past ten years, that is germany…
When does society have enough of those lies? I know that I am tired of hearing them.
“We have a chance of a new renaissance, if we do this responsibly.”
edit: According to the introduction portion of the UvdL talk, there is ‘a new european spirit’ that she managed to create within the past two years. Oh eff me, I’m going to bed for today.
edit2: FRIGGGING UvdL goes on a SALESTOURGRANDIOSO in the video linked above, to talk up the very FRACKING investor guarantees described above. In the most despicable manner imaginable. What a happy coincidence.
Sorry. Bad joke… 😉 It’s just that the “New European Bauhaus” update on goals, thanks to the Davos PR circuit from three days ago, is so - wordy? When people start throwing around ‘fractal’ and ’next level’ for no reason, you know your project is going well.
Bonus: Social Entrepreneurship guessing game: Do these people believe in what they are selling? If you are bored by that, you can also count how often the term ‘holistic’ is thrown around.
