Nuclear power plants in Germany affected by sea level rise?
The answer, unfortunately, is yes
If you look at both maps in the source data, you will quickly see that some nuclear power plants are very vulnerable to sea-level rise due to climate change. Even if the nuclear power plants have already been decommissioned, they still pose a threat.

Is possible since 1987 and almost CO2 neutral
The direct CO2 emission is zero! When the coal-fired power plants in Germany are finally a thing of the past or the battery is charged with solar power, see link Balcony Solar Module, the CO2 EMISIONS for electricity will also go towards zero.

Ireland wants to plant 440 million trees on unused land until 2040
This should create new forests for climate protection
http://unsere-natur.net/irland-pflanzt-440-millionen-neue-baeume/
A new study shows that two thirds of all CO2 EMISIONS could be captured if all unused areas worldwide were planted with trees. That is why many other countries have already joined the idea and are planting millions of trees.
