Klimaneutralität - Ein deutsches Unwort

Die deutsche Sprache ist nicht nur schwierig, sie enthält auch jede Menge Unwörter!

Es gibt keine Klimaneutralität, das ist blanker Unsinn. Was soll klimaneutral  bitte sein! Bis heute verstehen wir Wetter und Klima immer noch nur sehr unzureichend! Wenn jemand dieses Wort gebraucht ist das sehr entlarvend und sofort ein deutliches Warnsignal! Achtung!

Das Wort stammt eindeutig aus dem Katalog der Propagandisten und Demagogen!

Leider hat sich wohl auch das Bundesverfassungsgericht in 2021 dieser Sprache und insbesondere dieses Unworts angenommen! Siehe meinen post hier. Eine gefährliche und sehr bedenkliche Politisierung des höchsten Gerichts!

Why next-generation firewalls will be essential to a zero-trust world. Really!

At least two wrong ideas in one headline!

Firewall is a totally outdated and inadequate term/concept in the age of AI! It dates back to the medieval ages or so! In the digital age it is high time to let go of such misleading terminology! 

Zero-trust? We had enough such zeros in 2022! China's disastrous zero-Covid 19 policy! The zero carbon emission lunacy! With zero-trust the world civilization would collapse!

What is needed are probably new technologies that have little resemblance with previous firewall technologies applied to computer and network security.
