In den vergangenen Monaten kam es vermehrt zu Verurteilungen von Klimaaktivist*innen. Andererseits gibt es viele eingestellte Verfahren. Doch was verrät uns das über die Strategie von Regierung und Justitz?
Zuletzt gab es 2 Prozesse von #ExtinctionRebellion-Menschen. Thread 🧵👇🏿

Ein Jahr zuvor beteiligte sich Hofmann an drei Blockaden von #ExtinctionRebellion, @ScientistRebel1 und @DebtforClimate in Berlin.
2 Aktionen mit dem Motto „1,5° ist tot“ waren Reaktionen auf den 5. Sachstandsbericht des Weltklimarates, welche wenige Tage zuvor erschien.

2/5 The creditors we're targeting - @IMFNews and the @WorldBank, development banks, commercial banks, and mega-investors - are truly the debtors of the people and the earth they continue to exploit. 👇#DebtForClimate
3/5 💯This is their climate and neocolonial debt. This is why the debt that they hold, the one that's currently legal, is illegitimate: it perpetuates exploitation and is the exact opposite of the climate and neocolonial debt that remains to be paid. 👇#DebtForClimate

Why is 27 Feb so important?
27 Feb 2023 will be the 70th anniversary of Germany's debt cancellation after the 2nd World War, as agreed upon in the #LondonAgreement1953, which partially led to the country's "Economic Miracle".

Post-war 🇩🇪 was a heavily indebted country:
there was pre-war debt, consisting of outstanding reparation payments from WW1 & private debts of German banks & companies (standstill debt), the amount of the debt made by the Nazi Government (Konversionskasse) and post-war debt👇[2/18

Bear in mind that the #DeNazification of 🇩🇪 was never properly done: major powerful figures from the Third Reich remained in influential political & economic positions after the war, and were able to build their businesses also due to the outcome of the #LondonAgreement.👇[3/18]
Our own Wolfgang Metzeler is on his 16th day of hunger strike in prison. This is his open letter to Scientists for Future calling them to level with the public. He was put in preventive prison along with other 12 people from @AufstandLastGen .

His hunger strike when the German government either:
1. Recognizes we will miss the 1.5 ºC target;
2. Cancels all financial debt of most affected countries by the climate crisis;
3. Limit highway speed to 100 km/h and extend the 9€ ticket for public transport.

Who is to blame for global warming?
There is a staggering imbalance: the ecological guilt of a world minority - the Global North - is immeasurably greater than the guilt of the Global South with its low emissions.

#DebtForClimate #DeudaXClima
At the same time, however, the people most affected by the impacts of the climate crisis, such as water scarcity, food insecurity, drought, floods, pollution, extreme storms and displacement, live in the Global South.
#DebtForClimate #DeudaXClima
#DebtForClimate #DeudaXClima
The debt of countries in the Global South is also significantly related to the damage caused by the #G7 and their exploitation. Therefore, the debts on the IMF and World Bank balance sheets are pure lies that perpetuate colonialism.

Wer trägt die Schuld für die Erderhitzung?
Es herrscht ein erschütterndes Ungleichgewicht: Die ökol. Schuld einer Weltminderheit - des Globalen Nordens - ist unermesslich größer ist als die Schuld des Globalen Südens mit seinen niedrigen Emissionen.

Gleichzeitig leben die Menschen, die am stärksten von den Auswirkungen der Klimakrise wie Wasserknappheit, Ernährungsunsicherheit, Dürre, Überschwemmungen, Umweltverschmutzung, extremen Stürmen und Vertreibung betroffen sind, jedoch im Globalen Süden.
#DebtForClimate #DeudaXClima
#DebtForClimate #DeudaXClima
Die Schulden der Länder des Globalen Südens hängen auch wesentlich mit den von den #G7 verursachten Schäden und deren Ausbeutung zusammen. Daher sind die Schulden in den Bilanzen des IMF und der Weltbank reine Lügen, die den Kolonialismus weiter fortschreiben.

Countries with high emissions are also responsible for centuries of exploitation and colonisation of the rest of the world. The @debtforclimate campaign therefore demands that rich countries of the Global North pay their climate debt.
