AfD's gains from climate change controversy in Germany

Germany's far-right party, the Alternative for Germany (AfD), is positioning itself as an aggressive opponent to the government's energy and climate policy, rejecting climate protection measures and advocating for fossil fuels and nuclear energy. The party's strategy appears to be working, with recent polls showing the AfD polling at 18%, several points clear of the Greens. The AfD is targeting the Greens, especially Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and Economy Minister Robert Habeck, with allegations and insults on social media. The voter bases of the Greens and the AfD seem to be poles apart in many areas of policy, with the AfD capitalizing on emotions and fears of the population.
