"I'm telling you that we are shoving our children into a global school bus that has a 98% chance of being fatal.“ Prof. Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, climate expert

We are all the last generation that can stop the climate emergency. 
After the Fridays For Future protests since 2019 with millions of people on the streets, experts say they could “When they see the 'climate protection law' they don't eat as much as they want to puke".

We are currently racing into a world that is 4 degrees hotter. In a world that is 4 degrees hotter, not a single one of our children is safe and there are very few very rich people who are building ever higher walls around themselves. According to calculations, in a world that is 4 degrees hotter, over 7 billion people will die. So 7.000 million people. Maybe our human species is ending.

The current course is likely to lead to a catastrophe of hunger and war, to mass exodus, to social unrest in Germany too, in which we will lose all freedoms, all our jobs, all prosperity, all our stability and soon afterwards our families. This is how people in Germany and around the world are being let down. 

That's why in recent months we have initiated forms of civil disobedience (containers with self-disclosure) and civil resistance. The motorway blockades, which belong to the last category, are intended to make it symbolically visible that business as usual is to be stopped and that a change of course is initiated towards an appropriate system change.

We act absolutely non-violently. We will not intentionally harm anything living, especially our fellow human beings. We continue to clear emergency lanes for blue lights. Recordings prove our quick actions. We tried to keep the burden on the police officers low, especially after a worryingly unscrupulous murder, and paused the actions for several days. We sincerely apologize to all Berliners and fellow human beings for the disruption. We have great respect for the work of everyone in this society. We want to send out an alarm signal because we are all in great danger. We regret that our actions and concerns have so far been distorted by the media in order to turn our fellow human beings against us.

Our first demand for starting a system change is a food rescue law based on the French model. We welcome statements from some politicians who support the decriminalization of containers and mandatory reduction targets. The latter is important to us: we had voluntariness long enough without it having any effect.

Nevertheless, we note that there is not even a binding timetable for when the Food Saving Act, which we have been calling for since November, will be introduced by the federal government into the Bundestag. Three weeks of meetings have already passed.

In other respects, too, the government's coalition agreement as a whole fills us with little hope: it is full of declarations of intent, few concrete and enforceable commitments and inadequate targets. The federal government wants to become climate neutral by 2045 so that global warming does not exceed 1,5 degrees. But we will reach 1,5 degrees as early as 2030. We therefore consider the coalition agreement to be a danger to life and limb in view of the climate collapse that is approaching us. Furthermore, the federal government's policy continues to allow and promote a fossil fuel system, as evidenced by the decision to use gas as a “bridge technology”.
