Climate activists blocked the runways at Hamburg and Duesseldorf airports on Thursday, causing severe disruption for thousands of holidaymakers. Activists from the group "Letzte Generation" (Last Generation) breached security fences and glued themselves to the tarmac, protesting against what they see as the government's "lack of a strategy" for fighting the climate crisis. "I can understand" says Oliver Herrmann, a traveller in Hamburg, "but here are people who have waited a year for their vacation who are experiencing financial hardship and now are waiting here and are put off (the climate message)."
Fisherman Henry Schneider had to stop working for several months after a toxic algae bloom hit the Oder river last August, decimating his catch. Schneider, whose family has made its living from the river running along the Polish-German border for over a century, finally took up his activities again in May, but the risk is still very present: "If it happens again this year then there will be nothing to fish in this river for the next few years," he warns. The sudden catastrophe wiped out more than half of the fish in the river, but Prymnesium parvum, the organism responsible for poisoning the fish, has not disappeared and the risk of a repeat is high, according to experts.
