Open letter to Deutsche Bahn, French Railways, Spanish Railways, Italian Railways and all the world's railways
Let's create cross-border travel possibilities, for example without changing trains from Hamburg to Barcelona

Germany to reduce VAT on rail tickets from 19 to 7 percent from 1 January 2020
Last change: Isolde Moussot 28.09.2019
This means that Bahncard savings tickets are available from as little as 13.40 euros. Since the Spartickets are limited available, the train with normal prices is still much more expensive than a trip by car and uncomfortable in addition.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a special report today
This concerns the melting of the polar caps, the rise in sea level and the acidification of the sea
https://mobil.stern.de/panorama/wissen/ipcc--klimarat-warnt-vor-jaehrl
The ice is melting faster than anywhere else in the world. This affects both the polar caps and the glaciers. As a result, sea levels are rising and the sea is getting sour. This in turn leads to less oxygen in the ocean and species extinction in the ocean.
