In yet another protest by climate activists, two women used glue to stick to railings at a dinosaur exhibit at Berlin’s Natural History Museum, calling on the German government to step up measures to combat climate change.
The two activists stuck to the railings around the skeleton of a dinosaur that lived millions of years ago, holding a banner that read: “What if the government has lost control?”
“Dinosaurs became extinct because they could not withstand the huge climate changes. The same threatens us,” said Karis Connell, one of the protesters, aged 34.
The group Last Generation, which was behind the protest, said Germany must immediately cut emissions to stop the mass extinction of species and called on Berlin to impose speed limits on motorways.
The German government has set CO2 reduction targets for the country to reach carbon neutrality by 2045, but has not set speed limits on the country’s motorway network.
The protest continued for 20 minutes until the police arrived. It took another 40 minutes to free the women from the handrails.
