🚨 BREAKING: The Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport @bmdv gets a ticket for sluggish climate action! Here's what happened and why 👇#HowMuchMore #COP28 @ScientistRebellion
Six Scientists have pasted posters on the @bmdv building with declarations by past governments to phase out fossil fuel subsidies, a promise constantly and neglectfully postponed. #HowMuchMore broken promises will we witness? All of them have been arrested by the police. Fighting against climate failure is criminalised, whilst continued profiteering of the #FossilMadness is subsidised. 🤯
Additionally, 100 Scientists 🥼 marched and protested 📣 against #ClimateFailure. Again and again the government failed at delivering results and excelled at delaying the phase out of fossil fuel subsidies.
The coalition contract states: "We want to gain additional budgetary leeway by reducing superfluous, ineffective and environmentally and climate-damaging subsidies and expenditure in the budget." – BUT:
Aviation is shamefully subsidised by tax-free kerosene and VAT-free international flights with 12.4 billion euros a year. 🤯
Highly inefficient and resource-intensive individual transportation 🚗🚗🚗 without fuel-saving speed limitation is promoted over transitioning to a climate-neutral public transportation system 🚎.
Emission reductions in the transportation sector are promised, but targets are missed and the pathways towards the stated goals are clearly inadequate! #UniteAgainstClimateFailure @AufstandLastGen @xrgermany
Since 2009 at the G20 meeting, German governments have repetitively pledged to phase out fossil and environmentally damaging subsidies. Germany still spends 65 billion euros in environmentally harmful subsidies each year!
