A commentary by Ludwig Bayer. <\/em><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Even the popular truant organisation &#8216;Fridays for Future&#8217; sent a speaker, 15-year-old Lena M\u00fcller, to the International Pedagogical Conference in Salzburg. Before 250 participants, she presented her ingenious trick for abolishing cars; elegantly introduced by abolishing all parking spaces. A clever child: &#8216;As long as parking spaces exist in cities, people will use them. If they are gone, people will switch \u2013 to bicycles or public transport.&#8217; This way, blinkered socialists spare themselves the dramatic scenes that always accompany expropriations. (Bruno Kreisky knew: &#8216;Nobody lets anything be taken away from them.&#8217;)    <\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The keynote speaker was the moral theologian Michael Rosenberger, who demanded drastic eco-taxes. As a spokesperson for the left-green wing, he advocated for renunciation and frugality, which supposedly enables &#8216;sustainable happiness&#8217;, because motivation via money is, in the long run, just as unsustainable as a &#8216;purely intrinsic motivation&#8217; of fascination and love for creation. Anyone striving for frugality represents an idea diametrically opposed to modern performance-driven society. Consequently, the green theologian said: &#8216;If we want to experience renunciation as happiness, we must abandon this arrogant thinking that only the best, with an &#8216;excellent&#8217; grade, is sufficient.&#8217; For the happiness of life, one needs very little.    <\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The barely empathetic master drinker Winston Churchill jubilantly declared in 1945 that the British Air Force had succeeded in &#8216;bombing Germany back to the Stone Age&#8217;. Today, it is the Greens who want to achieve this even without aerial bombs. Reinforced by left-wing Catholics, who, of course, do not speak for the majority of Christians. For in the 21st century, modern science is capable of developing new future-proof solutions for ecological problems. A &#8216;European Silicon Valley&#8217;, networked with other high-tech centres worldwide, can ensure what most people desire: the expansion of our economic achievements combined with responsibility and protection for God&#8217;s creation.    <\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">c Featured image: European Union 2017, Mauro Bottaro<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the logic of the truant organisation &#8216;Fridays for Future&#8217;, cars will disappear if all parking spaces are abolished.
