Back in the 19th century…climate-crazed political leader: Towels and heating just one room is enough…
Since Germany has set itself on a path to energy cuts by reducing energy production and creating high prices, a number of German leaders have recently come up with innovative ways to deal with the crisis, Among them: advise people to prepare for possible multi-day power outages.
A few weeks ago we reported that the Minister of the Presidency from Baden-Württemberg, Winfried Kretschmann, suggested that people stop taking hot baths and Use a washcloth instead with a sink with some warm water for bathing. This will help limit a gas supply crunch later this winter.
Heating only one room
Mr. Kretschmann was back in the news again with a new idea, one that he said he himself practiced: Allegedly, he only heats one room in the house, living room and expect others to follow his lead. This means that people now have to shower themselves with towels, turn off the lights and sleep, eat and work at offices in cold rooms.
The message in Germany is clear: politicians have no intention of re-establishing a steady supply of energy to return their citizens to a comfortable normal life. Instead, citizens are being asked to go back to the 19th century.
Danger to health and property
But of course there are problems with going back to the Stone Age. Not only is cold dangerous to humans, but not heating the rooms of your home poses another health hazard: toxic black mold. Follow online Inside agent Karlsruher:
Meanwhile, experts warn against heating only one room or not heating the whole room. Cool air in the room will lead to increased humidity, which will then promote the growth of mold.
Therefore, adequate ventilation and heating are both fundamentally important for getting through the winter in good health. Mold can cause long-term damage to your apartment and home, as well as your own health.”
Everything climate-crazed politicians touch seems to turn into destruction, suffering, and death.
