Satirical reading highlight: Breuer about climate and wine in Bad Ems!

On April 6, 2025, a satirical reading by the author and small artist Thomas C. Breuer took place in the Bad Emser Kultorium. The event, organized by the Casablanca cabaret, was part of a series of programs that deal with important social issues. Breuer's reading entitled "Everything Must Must" focused in particular on the effects of climate change on wine growing, the term of office of Donald Trump and the local reimbursement. It was not only an artistic performance, but also a platform for deep arguments with current politics and climate.

Breuer, who grew up in Bad Ems, presented both humorous and critical perspectives with his program. While the event was well attended, regional wines and other fine drinks were also offered, which contributed to the lively atmosphere. Interestingly, the newly elected President of Casablanca is also Mayor of Bad Ems, which clarified the connection between humor, art and local political issues. Rhein-Zeitung reports that ...

Trump and the risk of climate change

The topic of climate change, which was also treated in Breuer's reading, is currently very explosive, especially in connection with Donald Trump's latest statements. He has repeatedly emphasized that climate change could have positive effects, for example in the form of new living space due to the increase in sea level. This statement is classified as dangerous and misleading by experts. Experts warn that such representations ignore the perceived risks and convey incorrect security. Rolling Stone reports that ...

Trump intends to revise the risk determination published by the environmental protection authority in 2009, which classified greenhouse gases as a danger to public health. Instead, he would like to commission a national climate classification, which is created by Klimaeugnern. This strategy, which is pursued by supporters such as Russell Vouht, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, is criticized by scientists such as Michael Oppenheimer from Princeton University, which indicate that this procedure completely ignores decades of scientific analysis.

arguments against misleading representations

The majority of Americans are concerned about climate change, which, however, is not reflected in the position of many Republican politicians. Conservative organizations in turn try to reduce fear of climate change and propagate that it is not harmful. However, experts warn that such arguments are misleading and that the negative effects on agriculture and the environment do not take into account.

Accordingly, climate change is increasingly regarded as a threat to the US economy, especially if fossil fuels are still encouraged and renewable energies are neglected. Edward Maibach from George Mason University emphasizes that the problems brought by climate change are real and are also recognized by the fossil fuel industry. The need for a clear rethinking and the change to a clean energy future could bring about fundamental changes for economic stability.
