Climate change and the fight against it are a big topic in this federal election campaign. Questions and discussions were also held in the Triells. But how much time did the broadcasters give this topic?
Two weeks before the federal election, the candidates for chancellor from the Union, SPD and Greens had a partially sharp exchange of blows in another television debate.
A lot was talked about and discussed: money laundering, digitization, rent and housing, health insurance, coalitions – and the climate.
Laschet and Scholz accused each other of blocking important issues in connection with climate protection. Scholz emphasized that the Union had long denied that more electricity was needed for the climate-friendly restructuring of the economy. Laschet complained that the SPD had prevented the planning and approval process from being accelerated.
More climate at RTL – but also a longer program
Baerbock made it clear that with the current pace of the black-red coalition, climate targets would be clearly missed. The next federal government must bring the coal phase-out to the year 2030. So far the year 2038 is planned.
Scholz spoke out in favor of taking a moderate approach to CO2 pricing in transport. Nobody buys a new car the next day because of rising fuel prices.
The trio of ARD and ZDF, which was moderated jointly by Maybrit Illner (ZDF) and ARD editor-in-chief Oliver Köhr, gave the topic of climate, climate change and the fight against it around 18 minutes and 30 seconds.
At the RTL triall on August 29th – moderated by Peter Kloeppel and Pinar Atalay – there was a longer debate on this topic. Climate policy was debated here for almost 22 minutes.
However: it went longer. The broadcast of the private broadcaster with the three candidates for Chancellor: inside ran for more than an hour and 50 minutes. On Sunday, on the other hand, was an hour and around 36 minutes long.
