EU's and Germany's emissions are negligible anyhow (9% and 2%, respectively). It's all about the U.S. and China (and maybe India) at this point, especially the latter two that have the strongest increase in emissions. There is no point in inflicting arguably some of the worst politicians in history on these relatively small European nations. They should rather be investing in building a strong workforce and military that can rebuild after storms. The fact that this is not being discussed openly is deeply suspicious.

Germany's per-capita emissions are significantly higher than other Western European nations like the UK and Spain though (9.44 vs 5.55 and 5.40)[1] and pro-nuclear France manages even lower per-capita emissions than those (5.13).

So? Reducing emissions in Germany is still a drop in the bucket.
