What are the underlying causes of this severe weather event?

The storm, caused by a low-pressure system over the Gulf of Genoa, is pushing unusually moist air against the southern Alps, resulting in torrential rain and heavy snowfall. This is impacting transportation, with highways, main roads, and the Simplon railway line closed due to flooding and landslides. The rising Po river is expected to reach critical levels within 24-36 hours.

How does the coalition's approach to energy policy affect Germany's dependence on fossil fuels and its ability to meet climate targets?

This coalition's climate policy contradictions—building new gas plants while aiming for climate neutrality—increase Germany's dependence on fossil fuel imports, particularly from the US. This weakens the EU's stance against Trump's demands for expensive American gas and empowers the AfD, which opposes climate action. The lack of a 'Klimageld' (climate money) scheme further reduces public support for climate policies.

What are the immediate consequences of Peru's amended forestry law on deforestation rates in the Amazon rainforest and indigenous communities?

Peru's recent amendment to its forestry and wildlife law eliminates the requirement for land owners or companies to obtain government permits before converting forested land to other uses, potentially accelerating deforestation in the Amazon rainforest. Critics argue this could legitimize long-standing illegal deforestation, while supporters claim it will stabilize Peru's agricultural sector and provide farmers with greater legal security.

How do differing opinions on specific climate policies, such as taxes versus subsidies, reflect broader societal concerns and values?

The SCP's survey highlights a disconnect between general support for climate action and specific policy preferences. While there's broad backing for initiatives benefiting citizens (e.g., insulation subsidies), acceptance wanes for measures impacting daily expenses (e.g., meat tax). This reveals a need for policy adjustments that balance environmental goals with public acceptance and economic realities. The decrease in trust towards the government's climate policies underscores the necessity for transparent and effective communication.
