Eight arrested after #climate activists breach German airport
"Climate group #LastGeneration said six individuals had seated themselves on airport asphalt at 4:45 a.m. local time (0245 GMT) to block planes, and it criticised Berlin for subsidising #airlines at the expense of #rail.
Germany's transport minister, Volker Wissing, said new laws were needed to punish such actions as criminal, with up to two years in prison. Current laws classify them as minor offences."
Climate activists glue themselves at #Munich airport to protest pollution caused by flying
"The activists from the group Last Generation were protesting flying, the most polluting form of transportation.
#LastGeneration [accused] the German government of “downplaying” the negative effects of flying on the environment instead of “finally acting sincerely.”"
