In Europe and America, hope to see many on the Green Deal. But what is necessary, it is hard to enforce. And what is doable is not enough. What to do?

USA and Europe: the thickness of the deaf and leaner Sparrow photo: imago

In the tree outside my window a dove begins to build her Nest. On the window ledge the sparrows dart to and fro. I write about the Green Deal. As the birds turn quickly in metaphors from: The lean sparrows are the European Green Deal. Always too little, always too late, and under-supplied. The thickness of the dove is out there, the Green New Deal in the United States. The rock star of the world rescuers.

This Rockstar is currently on a big tour In the USA, there is for all that believe in the future, currently only two objectives: Trump needs to go away. And a Green New Deal must be found. Yeah!

This means: 100 per cent green electricity! Health insurance for all! Affordable Housing! Good Training! A decent minimum wage! Efficient homes, new roads, clean Transport, BioFarming! Yeah, Yeah, yeah!!! The best President Bernie. His promise: Everything sanders is.

Our Bernie is here in good old Europe, Ursula von der Leyen. She says actually the Same: Zero emissions by 2050, the recycling industry, clean agriculture, all regions, secure houses to live renovate, the transport of the Fossil fuels away, the diversity of species to save.

Uschi compared to Bernie has only one drawback: she has to leave with your Green Deal already in the cloudy heights of the General promise, and for the implementation of legal acts, schedules, and a financial framework prepared. And because you can complain, of course, the same: When trillion is hardly fresh money is here! The planning for the climate package 2020 comes three months too late! The poles did not want to join imme rnoch!

in terms of Content, I am clearly a Sandernista: We have for so many decades, nothing is done, that only something Radical can help: The Öllobby to the collar, quickly closing with the coal, massive Expansion of Renewables, real protection for forests and biodiversity, education and social programs, that it is the only way crashes. A full-blown eco, so not soon the bottle is empty, the currency must be the same.

But that would quickly implement, even with an absolute majority, is difficult. For Crying out loud: What would be really necessary, is hardly enforceable. What is perhaps even feasible, will not be nearly enough. So we are looking forward to the fat pigeon that Bernie Sanders is on the roof to fly? Or we are angry about the meager Sparrow, the Ursula of the Leyen us in the Hand?

Which of the Green-Dealer, you also want to follow, it is complicated. In Europe, the Green Vision has, at least, the EU machinery behind, with all its regulations, prüfbesche halides, and Structural support. The green has not upgraded blueprint as in the USA, half of the society to the open enemy, the civil war.

As the hope of the radical Green New Deal appears to be over but rather something to total Spinner. On the other hand: four years Ago, it seemed impossible that Trump will ever be President. Today, this is still unreal, but a reality. One should not underestimate the Err on all sides.
