With anti-coal protests in the state of Saxony, environmental NGO Greenpeace says that the German government’s policy on coal fuels weather extremes. ā€œThe current heat wave is a taste of what awaits us if the COā‚‚ emissions are not decreased fast,ā€ said Jannes Stoppel, climate expert at the NGO, in a press release. Greenpeace calls for a socially responsible coal exit by 2030.
