Dear Sir or Madam,
Actually the term is utter nonsense: climate protection. Nobody has to protect the climate, because the climate doesn’t care what it is like. Rather, it is about protecting the conditions for human life. The planet will adapt to the climate, that much is certain. Animal species will disappear and new, more resilient forms of life will emerge. No one can specifically predict whether human race will be sufficiently resistant to the climate catastrophe they have accelerated. But one thing is certain, however – extreme weather events will continue to increase in the future. In order to reduce the speed of climate change to an adaptable level, a swift global approach is essential.
US President Joe Biden recognized this in contrast to his predecessor, who had significantly lower cognitive abilities, and last week declared the “red alert”: “The country and the world are in danger. This is not an exaggeration. That’s a fact. “, said US President Joe Biden in view of the recurring devastating forest fires in California and Hurricane Ida. Accordingly, an additional $ 24 billion should now be considered in the budget. In Germany, too, the consequences of extreme weather events are increasingly costing money: the uninsured damage from the heavy rain catastrophe alone is estimated at 30 billion euros. And that’s just the interim balance for 2021.
Last week, the prices for European CO2 emission rights rose again significantly and on Wednesday marked a new all-time high at EUR 63.35 per EUA; accompanied by bullish energy prices. However, EUA rates came under pressure on Friday after the completion of Nord Stream 2 was confirmed and is set to deliver gas from Russia before the end of the year. As a result, some market participants took profits and the trading week closed at EUR 60.92 in the ICE December futures contract.
