Abstract The discussion of climate policy received new impetus in the spring of 2019. Since then the topic has dominated the public discourse in Germany. The Fridays for Future movement continues to generate considerable pressure on policy makers. In addition, scientists emphasize in rare interdisciplinary unanimity both how urgent a radical renewal in climate policy would be, and that a uniform price for greenhouse gas emissions is the indispensable core element of the necessary reforms in Germany and Europe. One central aspect of climate policy is, however, often overlooked in all this: climate protection is essentially an international problem of cooperation. For climate change, it does not matter where greenhouse gases are emitted. The success of national climate policy must therefore be judged by whether it contributes to establishing international cooperation to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.

AbstractThe German national hydrogen strategy strongly supports the development of technologies to produce, store and distribute green hydrogen in large quantities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In the public debate, it is often argued that the economic success of green hydrogen depends primarily on improved efficiencies, and reduced plant costs over large volumes and higher capacities. However, an economy based on the large-scale use of green hydrogen must also take into account the thermodynamic and technical limitations of the processes and components. This study therefore aims to assess the main technical challenges of the German approach to the large-scale use green hydrogen as a future energy carrier.

There is an extreme lack of understanding of science among much of the public. This has many negative repercussions with people denying climate change, believing the earth is flat, thinking that COVID-19 is a hoax, etc. To increase awareness of science and get people interested in studying science, this chapter proposes 17 new annual celebratory days for frequently-used fundamental physical constants. Also, this chapter describes six annual celebratory days previously proposed in publications by Ashu M. G. Solo for increasing awareness of science, especially greenhouse gas emissions that are increasing the severity of climate change.
