"Activists from the Last Generation environmentalist group staged a protest at the Leipzig/Halle Airport in eastern #Germany early on Thursday morning.

#LastGeneration said the protest aimed at stopping overnight freight traffic to make it clear "that this system of destruction cannot be allowed to continue unabated."

Experts have warned that #Germany will almost certainly miss its climate goal of cutting 65% of #emissions by 2030.."

Deutsche Welle · Germany: Climate activists protest at Leipzig/Halle airportBy Deutsche Welle

@sinchens_ Kritik am Massenfluegen ist berechtigt und notwendig. Dazu gehört auch, privat auf Flüge zu verzichten, obwohl dadurch die CO2 Bilanz erstmal gar nicht beeinflusst wird. Yannik hat das nicht kapiert. Urlauber als Geiseln zu nehmen, um Druck auf die Industrie oder Politik auszuüben, ist auch falsch. Die #LastGeneration sollte mal ihr Konzept überdenken.

I only feel immense gratitude to the #activists who risk their own safety to continuously #protest the destruction of our planet. 👏✊

The Guardian · Flights hit at Frankfurt and Oslo airports as climate protests continueBy Ajit Niranjan

"Germany's Cologne-Bonn #airport temporarily stopped all flights on Wednesday after #climate activist group #LastGeneration glued their hands to a runway and said that was "just the beginning," with similar action planned globally within weeks.

Also on Wednesday, British police said in a post on X they had arrested nine activists from climate campaign group Just Stop Oil for conspiring to disrupt #Heathrow Airport, one of the world's busiest."

So far, most people I know are at most mildly concerned. Yes, maybe people are dying somewhere because of climate change. And we caused climate change. But it's strangers somewhere far away who are dying. They just say, what can I do? And they'll carefully put that thing out of their minds. It's still possible.
