The word “robust” is working overtime in this article, that’s for sure.
Besides that, I’d argue this article is a nothingburger: Both the minister of defense and the chancellor are SPD (who view more military involvement as bringing more risk). Meanwhile, the FDP-led ministry of finance wants almost every ministry to save money, and are already asking the ministry of exterior and the ministry of developmental aid to cut spending next year. Lindner won’t outright force military spending cuts but he certainly won’t allow increases either. Budget hawkishness trumps military hawkishness in FDP.
The Greens have almost no say in all of this, they hold the ministry of the exterior, which is not really a position of power.
Overall, Germany is going to be as uninvolved and fiscally “prudent” as NATO partners will allow, no matter the thoughts of representatives without real influence (i.e. everyone interviewed for this article).
I mean just looking at the amount of concrete in that picture, I get pessimistic. When will this particular site have dug itself out of the carbon “hole” created by its construction?
As for trees: That is really, really hard to measure and even harder to know in advance. Some factors appear to be:
different tree species store different amounts of carbon
tree plantation or actual forest?
prior use of the site (e.g. meadows do store carbon too)
development over time (most trees need to grow a couple years before they start storing significant amounts of carbon)
failure of sites due to being planted in a bad way (e.g. a lot of Chinese Green Wall sites and quick-buck billion tree projects seem to be affected by this)
The article doesn’t really do a great job of answering the titular question. So … Is the answer “mostly because of policy failure”? Because that is what opening two coal plants in 2024 sounds like to me.
I’m also a little confused how they managed to jump from “renewables are making power cheaper in Japan” in one paragraph to “this is hampered by G7 liking fossil gas” in the next paragraph. (I do share their worry about G7 nations investing in fossil gas too much. My home country Germany has just introduced a gas peaker plant strategy and appears to be over-investing in LNG terminals.)

Afaiu it, he added a second package with (quote) “all the crap” later, after the storm.
And no, it wasn’t just the favicons feature that was removed (which like … is that really such a big privacy issue that you need to remove it from the binary?). Support for Yubikey was removed as well — which is not a privacy issue. The reasoning mentioned by the Debian maintainer is that all of these features might turn out to be security issues in the long run. Thus, in his view, a password manager application must do nothing but provide access to the database within the app.
I find it an interesting example of diverging upstream, maintainer, and user interests in any case.
