"We just have to be careful not to overdramatize," says author David Nelles in the 327th episode of the podcast "Today Important" on "Earth Overshoot Day", which is an indication of the climate crisis. However, he criticizes that the calculation is vague. At the same time, Nelles makes it clear that resources should not be wasted unnecessarily, but should be used sparingly. The climate crisis is real and must be treated as such. For him, the solution to the climate problem is clear: a global energy transition. "We have to stop thinking in national borders."
For the future, David Nelles hopes that the population will become more interested in climate protection. It must be made clear that climate protection has nothing to do with making sacrifices, but rather an opportunity for improvement. Because an enlightened and motivated population has the ability to change many things. After all, "in principle, what we have to implement in the next few years is on the table, it more or less fails in reality," he says in the "today important" interview. Clever laws can get the climate crisis under control. And here, too, David Nelles is confident: "In the end we will stop climate change, when we stop it, that's anyone's guess."
