Study finds if Germany hadnt abandoned its nuclear policy it would have reduced its emissions by 73% from 2002-2022 compared to 25% for the same duration. Also, the transition to renewables without nuclear costed €696 billion which could have been done at half the cost with the help of nuclear power

One year after partial legalisation, there was no evidence of an immediate effect on the prevalence of cannabis use among young people in Germany Read Full Article #CannabisPolicy #PublicHealth #GermanyNews
📈 One year post-partial cannabis legalization in Germany (2023-2025), studies show no significant change in 12-month cannabis use among female adolescents, male adolescents, and young women aged 12-25.
📊 A statistically significant rise in cannabis use was noted among young men aged 18-25, continuing a trend observed since 2008.
🔬 Preliminary findings indicate no immediate impact of partial legalization on overall youth cannabis use prevalence in Germany.

As temperatures rise, so does climate skepticism in Germany. Some 98% of active climate scientists say climate change is happening, and is man-made. Nonetheless, a new study shows the number of climate-change skeptics in Germany has increased. Read Full Article…
🌡️ A study by Flensburg University researchers Katharina Gies and Emanuel Deutschmann found a significant increase in climate skepticism in Germany between 2022 and 2023, with 59% of 3,074 surveyed individuals expressing more doubts.
🧠 Researchers suggest factors like right-leaning political orientation, distrust in state institutions, and dissatisfaction with democracy are more decisive than economic situations in driving climate skepticism.
🗣️ Social psychologist Marlene Altenmüller's research indicates people's views on climate change are influenced by the opinions of groups they identify with, rather than fundamental doubts about scientific evidence itself, highlighting a "Party over policy" mindset.
🌍 Climate skepticism and conspiracy theories are largely Western phenomena, with countries in the Global South, like India, experiencing climate change as a daily survival issue, making mitigation efforts less ideologically driven.

Each 1°C of global warming brings about 2.63°C of local summer warming in Germany, with a range of 1.62 to 3.62. Heatwaves there will climb far faster than the world average. Read Full Article #ClimateChange #GermanyHeatwaves #GlobalWarmingImpact
☀️ A new study reveals that European summers are warming rapidly, leading to more frequent and intense heatwaves in Germany.
📊 Researchers developed a framework to estimate Germany's summer temperature sensitivity to global warming, finding that for every 1°C of global warming, Germany experiences an estimated 2.4°C of local summer warming.
🌡️ Extreme heat burden (EHD), measured in °C days, has significantly increased from pre-industrial levels to present day and is projected to rise further under +1.5°C and +2.0°C global warming scenarios.
⚖️ Analysis shows that the anthropogenic heat burden is distributed unevenly across German federal states, with equity diagnostics revealing concentrated impacts per capita in smaller states and city-states.
