☆ Opinion: Germany’s 16-year-olds voted for the first time in European Parliamentary elections. The far-right results were scary
  + stars: | 2024-06-11 | by ( Opinion Paul Hockenos | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
What a shock then – and coming days after the 80th anniversary of D-Day - that many German first-timers threw their votes disproportionally behind the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Paul HockenosWhat a shock then – and coming days after the 80th anniversary of D-Day — that many German first-timers threw their votes disproportionally behind the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. A full 95% of German AfD voters said Germany should limit the flow of foreigners and refugees into Germany. Not exactly the credentials of a party you would think would appeal to the next generation of German voters. But they must vent this pique constructively, as the extreme right has no answers to these problems (which, oddly, I’ve heard hard right voters say they recognize.)

☆ Opinion: The male drivers who just can’t let go of their stick shift
  + stars: | 2024-03-27 | by ( Opinion Paul Hockenos | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
Berlin CNN —For old-school connoisseurs of the automobile — usually men — driving means operating a beloved vehicle by touch, with three pedals underfoot and a shift stick at hand. Paul Hockenos Hayyan Al-YousoufIn Europe, this clientele is responsible for a good deal of the moaning about manual transmission’s demise. Well, Zen or not, the day of manual transmissions is speeding to an end — and this layman is shedding no tears. For one, the oft-repeated benefits of a stick shift over an automatic have been redundant now for years. The explanation: automatics select the right gear for the vehicle, usually the highest gear possible.

☆ Opinion: Germany’s far right is surging. Banning it would backfire
  + stars: | 2024-01-19 | by ( Opinion Paul Hockenos | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
But today, Germany is staring at a surging far right – and the country’s mainstream politicians and democratic citizens, still by far the lion’s share of the population, are understandably rattled. Since then it has veered steadily to the far right, where its members tout barely veiled racism and Islamophobia. But studies show that time and again the accommodation of radical right positions benefits the hard right – and not its imitators. Moreover, democrats of all stripes should expose the far right’s populist arguments for what they are: exaggerations, falsehoods and demagoguery. Germany’s ascendent far right shows that all of Europe – and beyond, including the US – could be at a tipping point.

☆ Opinion: My 12-year-old son is cutting school… and I couldn’t be prouder

Berlin CNN —My 12-year-old son is cutting school on September 15 — an act of non-violent civil disobedience that his mother and I approve of entirely. Then-15-year-old Swedish student Greta Thunberg leads a school strike in Stockholm, 2018. Irish schools students demand immediate action on climate change during the "Global School Strike for Climate Action" march from St Stephen's Green to Leinster House in 2019. An array of climate activist groups surged in the slipstream of the global climate strikes, and now campaign on their own and together with it. The majority must mobilize and the global climate marches are one, high-profile, legitimate way to do it.

☆ Opinion: If a 16 year old can drive, work, pay taxes – why can’t they vote?
  + stars: | 2023-06-22 | by ( Opinion Paul Hockenos | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
In Germany, this age group can vote in European elections, and the same goes for Belgium, on request. And, when Scotland held its referendum on Scottish independence back in 2014, it lowered the voting age from 18 to 16. In the US, some cities in the states of Maryland and California have lowered the voting age to 16 in certain local elections. The US-based NGO National Youth Rights Association argues that 16- and 17-year-olds should participate on decision making on medical autonomy, curfew, drinking age and age discrimination. “They work and are subject to taxation without representation: income tax, sales tax, payroll taxes and more… The US should continue its democratic tradition of extending voting rights,” he added.

☆ Opinion: No, nuclear power isn’t the ‘big bazooka’ climate fix you might think
  + stars: | 2023-04-20 | by ( Opinion Paul Hockenos | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
Berlin CNN —Germany’s exit from nuclear power on April 15 doesn’t single it out as a quirky anomaly or black sheep in a world otherwise enthusiastically embracing nuclear energy. Since a highpoint in the early 2000s, the number of operational nuclear reactors worldwide has fallen – from 438 to 411, according to this year’s World Nuclear Industry Status Report. While at the same time, renewable energy generation – clean tech like solar, wind, bioenergy and geothermal – has expanded by more than 30-fold. In fact, when matched up against renewables as a source of energy that doesn’t emit carbon, nuclear power falls egregiously short. Nuclear power may look like an attractive, big bazooka fix to rising emissions.
