You shouldn't trust what any public figure has to say. The fact is that Germany is about to go into a deep freeze, and all of their hollow rhetoric is going to rapidly go away when reality sets in. You don't need a politician or journalist to explain it. It is unfortunate that objective reality causes cognitive dissonance in so many, and prevents serious conversations about how to deal with reality-based problems.
