People generally present Germany strategy as a major role model for the best and most effective way to combat climate change. As such this strategy raises a lot of criticism when they start to burn coal.

If people were presenting Poland as the model for environmentalism then that strategy would likely raise even harsher criticism.



>As such this strategy raises a lot of criticism when they start to burn coal.

Except they didnt. Unlike Poland they reduced the amount of coal they used by rather a lot.

While US media is extremely critical of Germany for "not reducing its use of coal fast enough" it is apparently entirely unbothered by Poland not reducing it at all.

This is the American media feigning environmental concern because Germany was less obedient than Poland in following American foreign policy goals.
