Fridays for Future wants to take to the streets again.

A new march through Munich is planned for next week.

But there shouldn't be any sticky campaigns.

Munich – Fridays for Future is calling for the next climate strike: On Friday, November 11, schoolchildren and young people want to move through Munich again from 12 noon.

The start is at Königsplatz, the demo train is to lead via the State Chancellery to the Max Monument on Maximilianstrasse.

Up to 2000 participants are expected, said Julian Fürholzer from the youth organization of the Bund Naturschutz.

Scientists demand: Bavaria must switch to renewable energies more quickly

Sticking campaigns are not planned, explains FFF activist Franziska Wild.

"I don't know anything about that." Fridays for Future declares its solidarity with the activists of "Last Generation".

"But we chose a different form of action." Two scientists used the press conference to urgently promote a rapid switch to renewable energies in Bavaria.

Unfortunately, "a lot of official power" is wasted on rewriting the 10H rule for wind power instead of simply abolishing it, said Michael Sterner, professor of energy storage at the Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg.

The physicist Michael Stöhr, like Sterner a member of Scientist for Future, campaigned for the rapid conversion of the Bavarian energy supply.

He referred to a study by the Bund Naturschutz, according to which 10,000 wind turbines are needed in Bavaria - eight times more than today.

It's almost too late for Stöhr.

He is a supporter of the theory of tipping points – there is a 50 percent probability that global warming will have exceeded 1.5 degrees plus by 2048.

Stöhr did not accept criticism of the adhesive actions: "Climate change kills", that is the truth.

Scientists for Future do not want to take part in sticking campaigns

The scientist Sterner was more critical of the sticking actions: “I personally distance myself from the action in Berlin, where a rescue operation was blocked.

Escape routes must remain free”.

And: "I myself will never take part in such sticking campaigns." Scientists for Future will not participate here either.
