That&#8217;s because Germany&#8217;s cabinet on Wednesday said screw it to &#8216;climate warriors&#8217; and plans to re-ignite several coal-fired power plants from October until the end of the first quarter of 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/plants_1.jpg?itok=9jBdCqKL\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/energy\/germany-approves-bringing-coal-fired-power-plants-back-online-this-winter-2023-10-04\/?taid=651d91ea74209d0001cd91b1&amp;utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&amp;utm_medium=trueAnthem&amp;utm_source=twitter\">Reuters<\/a>\u00a0explained the move by the government is to &#8220;replace scarce natural gas this winter and avoid shortages&#8221; despite NatGas supplies on the continent being above normal levels for this time of year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Berlin reactivated coal-fired power plants and extended their lifespans, with a total output of 1.9 gigawatt-hours generated last winter,&#8221; Reuters noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It may be time for the Germans to blame &#8216;green&#8217; politicians and their climate cheerleaders for dooming their energy stability. The country has recently led a decarbonization movement by ditching fossil fuel power generation for unreliable solar and wind. In spring, the country had the genius idea of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/energy\/germany-closes-its-last-nuclear-power-plants-electricity-bills-spike-45\">phasing out its last nuclear reactor<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With a downturn roiling the economy, the last thing the country needs to be worried about is a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.climate.gov\/news-features\/understanding-climate\/climate-change-global-temperature\">less than 1\u00b0C rise<\/a>\u00a0in global temperatures in the past 100 years. There is no concrete evidence of any significant climate crisis, and all the people who tell us a crisis is right around the corner do so while raking in billions in funding dollars from governments and think-tank institutions with a vested interest in reinforcing the hysteria. In other words, there is no basis for exponential restrictions on &#8220;greenhouse gas&#8221; emissions. The Germans finally realized the sham by bringing back coal power plants to keep the lights on.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In recent weeks, Microsoft co-founder, philanthropist, and climate alarmist Bill Gates has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/markets\/why-did-bill-gates-make-sudden-u-turn-climate-doom-narrative\">backtracked<\/a>\u00a0on &#8216;climate doom&#8217; prophecies.
