Confusion before the election

"Krone" science expert Dr. Christian Mähr never actually pays attention to election posters; as a writer, he tends to focus on the small print. But one poster caught his eye - and confused him.

If a poster appeals to me, it's not because of the portraits of people I know anyway, but rather because of the thick lettering. Thick because, as a driver, I naturally concentrate on the traffic and can't study election posters on the side of the road - I only notice them out of the corner of my eye, but not the small print. One poster jumped out at me, so to speak. It said "Vote climate". I was shocked!
