German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has compared a far-right plan to deport migrants to Nazi racial ideology, calling it "an attack on our democracy." He has welcomed planned protests against right-wing extremism this weekend.
Local newspaper Hamburger Abendblatt said the event ended at 4:45 p.m. local time on security grounds since it was feared that “people could fall into the Alster,” the river that flows into the Elbe in Hamburg, in the snowy conditions.
Damn climate change this is how the Alster is supposed to look right now. (The Alster is not just a river it’s a large lake created by damming it up for a mill, cut in two by a damn and bridge originally part of the original city walls. The lake is ludicrously large compared to the river which makes it freeze up real nice. If we still had winters).
That’s the exception, not the norm. I’m closing in on 50 and the Alster being frozen so thick that you can safely walk on it was always something special. Besides, with climate change you get more extreme weather and not just warmer weather.
Hmmm just had a look at the years. Seems making it a big thing with stands etc. only became a thing in the 70s (before was post-war and before that they kept it open for shipping), then it happened a lot, and now it doesn’t.
We really didn’t have a proper winter in ages though. Temperatures like this and colder were normal 30 years ago, not the exception, and “winters” like the last one completely unheard of.
