- Scientific warnings in the 1980s led to a Bundestag commission in 1987, which recommended cutting Germany’s CO₂ emissions by at least 30 percent by 2005, while the government set a 25-percent target against 1990 levels.
- The 1992 Rio summit and its UN climate convention were followed by the 1997 Kyoto Protocol with binding targets for industrialized countries and the 2015 Paris Agreement for all states, aiming to limit warming to two degrees, preferably 1.5.
- Germany’s 2000 Renewable Energy Sources Act used grid access and 20-year remuneration to promote wind, solar and biomass power, but later funding cuts and expansion limits, Wille writes, contributed among other things to the loss of more than 100,000 solar-sector jobs.
- Wille points to more than 180 deaths in the 2021 floods, the extreme heat and drought of 2026 and estimated losses of about €6.3 billion from the June heatwave, yet sees reasons for hope despite the setbacks.
Heat deaths reveal the social coldness of a society.— Hartmut Graßl, climate scientist; quoted in a 2003 interview recounted by Joachim Wille in his retrospective on four decades of climate journalism.

- For a €100,000 inheritance, Looman recommends investing in two ETFs tracking the S&P 500 and the Euro Stoxx if there are no outstanding loans, giving exposure to around 1,200 stocks.
- According to Looman, people who need the money within five years should avoid stocks and choose fixed-term deposits yielding about 3%, while he considers stocks suitable for a horizon of at least ten years.
- Looman says many women accept €40,000 instead of a fair starting salary of €60,000 and later rarely request a raise, costing them substantial sums over their working lives.

- According to the essay, European manufacturers generated more than 40 percent of the global auto industry’s profits three years ago and nearly €100 billion in 2023.
- Of the roughly €6,800 increase in new-car prices in France between 2020 and 2024, the essay says only one quarter reflected higher costs, while three quarters resulted from premium strategies and pricing power.
- The essay states that Mercedes paid the highest dividend of all DAX companies in 2024 and Volkswagen distributed almost €22 billion between 2021 and 2023, while Europe’s auto industry invested less relative to its profits than competitors in China, Japan and the United States.
- Sebastian Bock argues that the lack of technically superior, affordable electric cars weakened European manufacturers in China and other markets, making the crisis primarily a consequence of executive decisions.
