To combat climate change, German towns and cities are busily implementing “heat plans”. Germany has ambitious climate neutrality goals, aiming to be climate-neutral by 2045. The lives of millions of people are at risk!
The so-called Heat Planning Act went into force in January 2024 and legally obliges municipalities to develop these plans. Larger cities (over 100,000 inhabitants) have until mid-2026 to do so, and smaller towns until mid-2028.
One key aspect is adapting to summer heatwaves and protecting public health. This includes measures such as public awareness campaigns about staying safe during heatwaves, establishing cooling centers and long-term urban planning measures to mitigate the “urban heat island effect.”
The town of Mühlacker (near Stuttgart) has taken the Heat Plan act seriously and thus have organized a Heat Action Day, scheduled for June 6th. The aim was educating the public about heat, drought and climate change and provide tips on how to protect against heat.
It seems Germans, in the view of the country’s nanny leaders, are mentally not up to the task of dealing with summer weather. They need to be parented like little children and told to stay inside.
Ironically, the event yesterday had to be cancelled due to “forecast weather conditions,”,the above newspaper clipping reports.
The heat action day has been postponed to Friday, July 25, 2025. The weather yesterday, June 6, in Muehlacker was indeed rainy and cool, with highs not even reaching 20°C – obviously too harsh for the organizers!
We can only suspect that they are hoping more agreeable, hot weather will show up on July 25th event, so that the citizens and organizers there will be able complain about how heat makes it “too dangerous” to hold public events.
