Germania. Non ridurrà le emissioni di gas a effetto serra al 2020.

Lo avevano già annunciato da tempo.

Merkel. «Tedeschi, volete ‘clima’ od acciaio?»

Merkel & Schulz. Clima addio. Avevano scherzato. Più tasse.

«Germany’s would-be coalition partners have agreed to drop plans to lower carbon dioxide emissions by 40 percent from 1990 levels by 2020»

*

«the targeted cut in emissions could no longer be achieved by 2020»

*

«The deal would represent something of a U-turn for Merkel, who has long presented herself as an advocate of climate protection policies on the international stage»

* * * * * * *

Di questi giorni arriva il mesto annuncio.

«The German government set itself the goal of reducing national greenhouse gas emissions until 2020 by 40 percent compared to 1990 levels»

*

«Germany is set to miss its 2020 greenhouse gas emissions target by 8 percent, according to German weekly magazine Der Spiegel»

*

«The climate protection report shows a gigantic gap between the government's words and deeds when it comes to climate protection»

* * * * * * *

In parole poverissime, il traguardo prefissato era una pura e semplice utopia.

Se si potessero usare termini più propri, un delirio schizofrenico con screzio paranoide.

Delirio che però andava e va benissimo per bacchettare a destra e sinistra tutti gli altri stati, rei di non considerare nella sua gravità il problema del 'clima'.

Traducendo dal linguaggio della Bundeskanzlerin Frau Merkel a linguaggio comune, la Germania continui a produrre imperterrita mentre gli altri chiudono gli stabilimenti perché inquinano.

Cdu, Spd ed Fdp Usavano i dati personali di Deutsche Post.

CDU, SPD and Greens use big data to target Bundestag voters

«The Christian Democrats and Social Democrats are going door-to-door collecting voter information. They are hoping to gain access to the electorate in a way that was once unthinkable under Germany’s strict privacy laws.

Cornelius Golembiewski takes an iPad and a smartphone with him when he goes door-to-door for the Christian Democrats (CDU). On the iPad, he sees a map of his hometown, Jena, covered in green spots. The green indicates clusters of houses where potential CDU voters are likely to live.

Golembiewski gives a CDU pamphlet to a woman at her home near Jena’s main train station and talks to her about the party’s goals, just like in any other election season. But what is different this time around is that once she closes the door, he pulls out his smartphone and opens an app called Connect17. First, he clicks on a smiley face to show that the conversation went well and then enters the woman’s estimated age, gender and any questions she had about the campaign.»

«Deutsche Post sold client microtargeting data to the Christian Democrats and Free Democrats before the 2017 elections»

*

«Is this a scandal along the lines of Cambridge Analytica in the US?»

*

«The Sunday edition of the national broadsheet Bild reported that Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) and the center-right Free Democrats (FDP) purchased “more than a billion” of pieces of personal data about potential voters from a subsidiary of Deutsche Post in the run-up to Germany’s national election in September»

*

«The data was reportedly anonymized but contained enough information for the parties to determine, for instance, the general political leanings of residents of a building»

*

«The report comes as concern continues to grow about the role of data mining and microtargeting in elections»

Non si è minimamente scandalizzati che Cdu, Spd e Grüne abbiamo comprato dati da entità che avevano istituito larghi database, magari non del tutto ortodossi.

Procedura altamente illegale, sia ben chiaro, ma umanamente comprensibile.

Né si resta poi tanto scandalizzati che Frau Merkel ed Herr Schulz se la dessero da santerellini, bacchettassero a destra e manca, e poi si comportassero anche peggio degli altri. È comportamento questo che disprezziamo in quano ipocrita.

Ciò che scandalizza invece è il pessimo uso che hanno fatto di tutte quelle informazioni sensibili: il 24 settembre alle elezioni hanno preso una batosta più che sonora. Almeno avessero perso un po’ meno.
