Hot Air: A Europe Divided over Climate Policy

"A Europe Divided over Climate Policy

By Frank Dohmen, Alexander Neubacher, Sebastian Knauer and Wolfgang Reuter

Earlier this month, the European Union announced ambitious environmental goals and current EU President Angela Merkel has made the issue of climate change a priority. But even as Germany forges ahead, many EU countries are lagging. EU environmental policy could suffer.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel normally uses her Web site as a forum to talk about the positive. In the past, she has dedicated her weekly video Podcast to the grand opening of Berlin's Bode Museum or used it to express her anticipation of Christmas. In one address, the German chancellor said she was proud to report on two young German scientists who had developed a mathematical formula to decode how soccer players make the ball curve after it flies off their feet."
