🚨 BREAKING: Activists from Scientist Rebellion are confronting German finance minister Christian Lindner with his refusal to effectively adress the #ClimateEmergency and #BiodiversityCrisis. „Science is being ignored, FDP destroys!“
While people in the Global South are already suffering and dying from climate change, the German "Umweltrat" has declared that Germany's remaining carbon budget for 1.5 degrees is already used up.
Lindner's party FDP continues to categorically block any effective climate policy on the national and EU level. Instead, they are working on policies to benefit the super rich – those that will suffer the least from climate crisis.
The FDP-lead transport ministry refuses to expand public transport and plans almost 1000 km of new highways. Lindner himself is cutting down on public spending meant to support a just transition to green infrastructure.
#TheScienceIsClear. The age of fossil fuels and combustion engines has to end! Get car and fossil fuel lobbyists out of politics!
It’s time to end neoliberal, extractivist policies and stop relying on imaginary miracle technologies to solve climate crisis! Only radical political change and degrowth in the Global North can ensure a livable world for future generations!
