I predict that nothing will change, we will carry on breathing polluted air, the situation will get worse but still, nothing will change.
Germans would say "Tja", shrug and then drive with their unnecessarily big car to the bakery which is around the corner to buy some Mettwurstbrötchen. Sitting then with their friends at a Stammtisch over a beer and talk angrily about how people need to change something before they fall into bed and forget about it.
Sound more like the U.S. than Germany - Germany has the €49/month public transport ticket, relatively good public transport offerings and a green party that has the best election results of the western industrial countries. Of course shutting down nuclear power plants didn't do them any favours regarding pollution.
Better window dressing. Still not doing enough.
49? Damn, it's like €90 in Stockholm.
Tja
We will vote for the same people, keep buying iPhones, and get distracted by stupid shit. As is customary.
