Hello Maiken
I had not heard of Last Generation but we have equivalent groups in Australia. I found a report on German government crackdown on last generation disruptive protests at https://earth.org/last-generation-activists/. Such groups mean well but lack coherent strategic vision of how to prevent dangerous warming and are often unwilling to engage in courteous dialogue. They wrongly imagine that shutting down fossil fuel industries as fast as possible is the best way to respond to climate change. This is a popular line on the political left, but it is a futile and incorrect ideology that sets back efforts to improve public understanding of climate science. Cutting emissions is marginal to the immediate climate situation, given the high risk of tipping points which can only be mitigated by albedo enhancement. As well, the inertia in the fossil fuel economy means it has the power and interest to ignore climate science. Improving the GHG situation is only possible in the long term. Trying to accelerate emission reduction creates division and antagonism while achieving nothing for actual cooling. By contrast, albedo enhancement can support commercial and community interests in political and economic and environmental stability and security. It is important not to subordinate climate policy to the old fashioned socialist idea that building a popular front of progressive forces is the only way to achieve change. Climate stability and repair can be achieved through negotiation across partisan lines to gain broad support for net zero heating as a policy goal. That will require intergovernmental support for sound governance of measures to increase planetary albedo.

Do you consider to also become part of this movement (as I am)? It's horrible that we are so far into this catastrophe that even I blockade streets.
