Global climate strike: "Fridays for Future" activist Neubauer criticizes the traffic light coalition
Climate activist Luisa Neubauer already criticized the federal government around Chancellor Olaf Scholz in the run-up to the global climate strike.
The activist from “Fridays for Future” accused the traffic light coalition of blocking the fight against global warming.
Neubauer expressed particular dissatisfaction with the transport sector.
"Transport Minister Volker Wissing is boycotting scientific findings and is thus jeopardizing compliance with the climate targets overall," she told the
dpa
news agency .
The FDP politician is aggressively committed to the rapid expansion and new construction of motorways.
"Fridays for Future" and other environmental organizations, on the other hand, are calling for all highway projects in Germany to be stopped.
According to estimates by the organization Agora Energiewende, the climate-damaging greenhouse gases in transport rose to 150 million tons of CO2 in 2022 - eleven million tons more than permitted under the Climate Protection Act.
48.2 million cars are now registered across Germany, only 0.6 percent of which are pure electric cars.

Neubauer calls for the chancellor to give his word of power and warns of a "dangerous way to continue"
Neubauer also complained that the federal government was not finding an appropriate answer to the climate crisis.
Oil and gas heating systems would continue to be installed in Germany.
Economics Minister Robert Habeck wants to ban them in the future.
In addition, "not a single wind turbine has been approved in many federal states this year," the climate activist continued.
All of this is not a diversion, but "a dangerous continuation," said Neubauer.
"Instead of a progress coalition, we are currently experiencing a standstill coalition," she also said in the "Status of Things" podcast.
Chancellor Scholz (SPD) also sees Neubauer as having a duty: “We are still waiting for the Chancellor’s word of power on the climate crisis, on getting started properly.”
A core demand on politicians is to stop the financing of all oil and gas projects worldwide in order to avert the impending climate catastrophe and to meet the 1.5 degree target.
The earth has already warmed up by around 1.1 degrees, in Germany even by 1.6 degrees.
Depending on the region, the fatal consequences are more frequent and more severe storms, droughts, floods and heat waves.
For Germany, "Fridays for Future" calls, among other things, for a coal phase-out by 2030, 100 percent renewable energy supply by 2035, as well as the immediate end of subsidies for fossil fuels and an expansion freeze for motorways.
The climate demos were inspired by the Swede Greta Thunberg, who first sat down in August 2018 at the age of 15 for a "school strike for the climate" in front of the parliament in Stockholm.
