Why even good climate news is hardly heard
Super Impact Day: Prof Christian Stöcker, SPIEGEL bestselling author of ‘Männer, die die die Welt verbrennen’, talks about the biggest myths of the climate crisis and energy transition – and why even good news doesn’t get through.
In his keynote speech at SID2025, Christian Stöcker impressively demonstrates why progress in climate protection is often overlooked while negative headlines dominate the debate. A mechanism that is also evident in the discussion about subsidies – while fossil fuels continue to be supported with trillions of euros, the promotion of renewable energies and electromobility is often portrayed as an artificial distortion of the market.
Central topics of the lecture:
🔹 How the media focus on crises and disasters pushes positive developments into the background
🔹 Why progress in energy, mobility and climate policy is often overlooked or underestimated
🔹 Which achievements of the transformation – especially in the area of the energy and mobility transition – are barely recognised and what political consequences this has.
