About 2,500 people have demonstrated in western Germany for a quick halt to coal mining in the region, where a village could be bulldozed to make way for a mine.
Scientists reported that a large system of ocean currents in the Atlantic has been disrupted due to climate change. If that system collapses, it would lead to dramatic changes in weather patterns.LUETZERATH, Germany -- About 2,500 people in western Germany demonstrated Saturday for a quick halt to coal mining in the region, where a village could be bulldozed to make way for a mine.
Luetzerath stands a few hundred meters away from a vast pit where German utility giant RWE is extracting lignite coal to burn in nearby power plants. "If we want to survive on this planet, we have to take measures now," protester Michael Zobel told The Associated Press. “Survival on this planet is endangered and it starts right here. So coal mining needs to be stopped, and there will need to be other measures, too.”
