I think Wiedeking is right about being unfairly targeted. In the grand scheme of things the pollution is not that substantial. Plus, who's fault is it that we're still burning fossil fules anyway with no other realistic alternative? IMO targeting the luxury German manufacturers is a political move that appeases the masses.

How about we all learn to get along better instead of blowing up countries and having them ignite oil fields in retaliation among other things? That'd slow down emissions and the end of civilization a bit.
