4/4: And in my last report to the UN General Assembly, I outlined how this case forms part of a broader trend of repression of legitimate climate activism in Europe and around the globe. This is a road to destruction, & states must change course: docs.un.org/en/A/80/114

2/4: I reiterate my serious concern about the application of s. 129 of the Criminal Code in the case, which is being misused to sanction non-violent acts solely motivated by wholly legitimate concerns about climate change & human rights @genf.diplo.de
We express our concerns regarding the above-outlined allegations. In particular, we express our concern at the necessity and proportionality of the investigation into Letzte Generation on the basis of section 129 of the German Criminal Code, including the specific investigative measures taken. We note that section 129 is primarily used to target organised criminal groups seeking to enrich themselves through illegal acts, or who pose a threat to the public, and underline our fear that in this case it appears to be being misused to sanction acts of civil disobedience. A guilty verdict under section 129 can incur a punishment of up to five years’ imprisonment. Without wishing to express agreement or disagreement with the form of activism taken by Letzte Generation, we underline our strong concern that such a serious charge has been brought against members of the group, the acts of which are non-violent, carried out publicly, appear to pose no threat to the public, and are motivated solely by legitimate, well-founded concerns about climate change and its impact on human rights. We also note with serious concern that the accusation of forming a criminal organisation would not only criminalise the members of Letzte Generation, but any person deemed to be supporting them, exposing any such person to a sentence of up to three years' imprisonment. We also express our concern about the failure to guarantee members of the climate action group Letzte Generation their right to peaceful assembly and free expression as well as to guarantee the group their right to access and managing resources, that is an intrinsic part of the right to freedom of association.

Interessant ist auch, wie ein Minister mehreren unabhängigen Universitäten eine tendenziöse Betrachtungsweise vorwirft, während er einem oft als tendenziös-neoliberal kritisiertem Thinktank ganzheitliche Objektivität attestiert. Das ist so Orwell 1984. www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

What Hegseth said is an irresponsible denial of physical reality - whether due to stupidity, ideology or corruption by fossil fuel interests. That reality denial is a security risk for the US and thereby NATO. 😳

Für die Ausweitung fossiler Infrastruktur in Zeiten eskalierender Klimakatastrophe (3C noch in diesem Jahrhundert) gilt... bsky.app/profile/steu...

Zudem ist die Ausweitung fossiler Infrastruktur (Autobahnen, Flughäfen...) vor diesem Hintergrund noch verrückter, als das auch so ist. Was wird in einer +3C-Welt wichtiger sein, nachdem der globale Getreidemarkt zusammengebrochen sein wird? Ackerboden für mehr Eigenversorgung oder mehr Asphalt?

Kann man problematische Entwicklungen nur in Leitartikeln klar und deutlich einordnen?

Die Emissionen müssen anfangs sehr schnell runter: weil langlebige Treibhausgase wie CO2 kumulativ wirken. Sie sammeln sich an! Das Ausmaß der Erwärmung folgt der Fläche unter diesen Kurven. Die müssen wir klein halten, daher am Anfang steil runter! Hat das jeder in der Politik verstanden??? 😕
