Climate activists in Berlin have taped themselves to an airport runway, disrupting air traffic

Activists in Germany stormed Berlin Brandenburg Airport on Thursday and taped themselves to the tarmac to protest government inaction on climate change.

The activists were part of a climate activism group The Letzte generation (Last Generation) and said the stunt was staged to protest the greenhouse gas emissions caused by air travel.

“The affluent one percent of the population is responsible for about half of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with flying,” Last Generation said in a public statement.
