KEEP A COOL HEAD THROUGH HOT TIMES While summer temperatures continue to soar, we'll have to bundle up this winter. It's a situation we've brought upon ourselves through many poor decisions in the past. Did you know that in Finland the Greens are pushing for nuclear power? And that if we relied entirely on wind and solar energy, our energy reserves would be depleted in just 40 minutes on a windless night? But what can you expect from a nation that struggles to even build an airport? How is Germany dealing with its future? With a critically humorous touch, physicist Vince Ebert questions the spirit of the times and our ambition to save the world. Are we perhaps doing the wrong thing for the right reasons? Wouldn't adapting to climate change be more effective than trying to prevent it? Is the energy transition even feasible? Do we need a completely new approach? Ebert's plea for a passionate, open-minded debate is long overdue. >>Think for yourself, or others will do it for you.<< biography Vince Ebert, born in 1968, studied physics in Würzburg.
