Likely next German Chancellor Laschet claims that introducing a generalised motorway speed limit (still not a thing in Germany!) would be "symbolic policy" as there is no proof that it would reduce emissions.
This is post-truth politics.

This is from a recent study by the German Environment Agency (UBA) into the environmental impact of a #tempolimit.
It directly contradicts to Laschet's statement.

The estimated CO2 reduction impact of a motorway speed limit is actually comparable to that of a substantial CO2 tax or a ban on domestic flights (see link in the thread)

And look I mean if you want to argue that reduction in CO2 is not worth the loss in terms of travel time, "fun" or "utility" for those who like to speed on motorway, then say so.
But not this. This is just post-truth politics. [end of rant]
