Bekenntnisse einer Klimaleugnerin - by Sonja Margolina:
https://rotary.de/gesellschaft/bekenntnisse-einer-klimaleugnerin-a-14086.html"Klimawandel ist ein hochideologischer, subversiver Begriff, der eine Utopie der „Klimarettung“ zum Ziel des politischen Handelns und zum moralischen Gebot erhoben hat. Nach den Milliarden-Investitionen und garantierten Subventionen für wirtschaftlich nicht konkurrenzfähige Erneuerbare Energien bedient sie handfeste Interessen zahlreicher Profiteure aus der Politik, Zivilgesellschaft und dem mit ihnen verbundenen öko-industriellen Komplex. Klimaschutz ist ein Milliardengeschäft und eine Umverteilungsmaschine von unten nach oben, von den reuigen Europäern an die Eliten der Entwicklungsländer."
