1. This AM....first rainfall in 4 weeks for my 'valley'. Temp dropped 10 degrees C....sitting at 20 C (68 F).
2. Number of Germans noting public TV (ZDF/ARD) 'slant'....on evil air-conditioning. Basic idea....if you buy/install a unit....you are speeding up climate change.
I will say....if 50-percent of the public over the next year buy a unit....the grid will probably have some problems in supporting the 'load' on particularly hot days.
3. Odd police event in Kehl (Baden-Wuerttemberg). Around 50-to-60 French men....arrived, and tried to enter the local German public pool....without paying.
4. ZDF's tv show....'Fernsehgarten' (Sunday musical show)....has a studio situation....open-air....with people paying to enter. So folks have noticed since the summer season started up....ZDF refuses to sell alcohol (only water/sodas allowed for sale). Network suggests consumption problem.
5. Putin had a crisis summit/emergency meeting....relates to fuel shortages in Russia. The suggestion is....he will open emergency reserves.
Just a suggestion....I doubt that the folks in charge of the reserves....have much to 'share', and if there is some reserve.....it's probably enough for 30 days at best.
Amazing....those 'evil-Nazis' of the Ukraine bringing Russia to its knees. Yet, the emergency operation continues on.
6. SPD having talks...wants to raise booze-tax....20-percent higher.
7. ARD (public TV, Channel 1)....ran a Brennpunkt (emergency status show) over the weekend. Chatter? Heat-wave.
Mobility researcher Andreas Knie was invited. He says....there must be an immediate halt to new construction, massive changes to economic life, and radial planning approach.
Yeah....if you watched it and got hyped-up....it probably scared the crap out of you.
