    Great, I feel like this is more likely to make a difference than some of these protests I’ve been seeing lately

      Nope.

      Here in Germany the highest court decided a while ago (2019, 2021? Not sure), that the current climate policy is unconstitutional, because it’s limiting the freedom of coming generations.

      And nothing happened.

      So Germany currently has a government that openly defies the constitution and nobody seems to care.

    [The Greek government says,] “The effects of climate change as recorded so far do not seem to directly affect human life or human health. […] An absolute cause and effect relationship between climate change and the effect on human health cannot be established”

    Also Greece: EU, help us! Climate change is burning our forests!!!11
