Scientist RebellionBREAKING: scientist on #HungerStrike in prison. Environmental engineer and part of @ScientistRebel1 and @AufstandLastGen, Wolfgang Metzler is on his 7th day of hunger strike in prison. Watch his statement in the video. 1/5
Along with other 12 members of Leztze Generation, Wolfgang was put in preventive prison for one whole month, and will stay there until the 2nd of December. His only crime has been to resist non-violently against climate genocide. 2/5
His demands to the German government: #AdmitFailure recognizing earth will exceed 1.5 degrees of warming and then #DecarbonizeTransport starting with imposing a speed limit for motorways and the indefinite extension of the 9euro ticket. This is simple to implement. 3/5
#Germany government, along with all the other world's powers, are failing to meet their promises to stay below 1.5°C. The global north is failing the global south. Only admitting that failure we can leave the sphere of wishful thinking and dangerous delay. 4/5
We already entered the era of consequences #UniteAgainstClimateFailure. #ScientistRebellion #HungerStrike #COP27 #Germany #LossAndDamage #ClimateDebt #ClimateCrisis #EcologicalCrisis #ClimateEmergency #ClimateCatastrophe #ClimateChangeAwareness #GlobalClimateEmergency 5/5
Juliette de Meaux@ScientistRebellion Preventive prison, I cannot believe this is happening. This is so wrong.
