Reporting from
COP 23 in
Bonn, Germany,
Democracy Now! ventures to the nearby blockade of the toxic
Hambach Mine, the largest open-pit coal mine in Europe. Environmental activists say the mine extracts an extremely dirty form of coal called lignite, "brown coal." It causes the highest CO2 emissions of any kind of coal if burned. For more than five years, these beautiful climate protectors have been fighting to shut down the mine. They want to save the remaining German forest from being cut down to make way for the expanding the toxic capitalist project. Only 10 percent of the ancient forest remains at this time. On Sunday [Nov. 12],
Democracy Now! drove down a dirt road, got caught in the mud, had to push, and bumped into an activist from the nearby city of Cologne, Germany, at the entrance to the remaining forest.
