The Greens of Austria are stirred up by recent remarks made by the country’s Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, telling them “it would be totally wrong to believe that we could save the climate in the future by asceticism... the only right approach is to rely on innovation and technology.”
“I do not share at all the view that our direction should be going back to the Stone Age,” Kurz said, adding that he opposed the continuous lecturing by greenies on what to do, and that he rejected “fantasies that one could somehow live as in the past century.”
Kurz’s remarks are all the more important, as the Greens are a partner in his Austrian coalition government.
