A Prophesy Fulfilled

Activists spray paint on Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate in call for climate action

Climate activists sprayed orange and yellow paint on the columns of Berlin’s landmark Brandenburg Gate on Sunday to push demands for a stop to the use of fossil fuels by 2030.

“Members of the so-called ‘Last Generation’ sprayed the columns on the east side of the Brandenburg Gate with orange paint from fire extinguishers during the morning,” Berlin police said on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“We will not stop our protest unless a pivot is initiated. We have to exit oil, natural gas and coal by 2030 at the latest,” it said.

If Germany does exit oil, natural gas and coal by 2030 then they could well turn out to be the last generation. But that’s not what they expect to happen.
