 Greta Thunberg hauled away by police at German coal mine protest. The climate activist and other demonstrators were detained (and later released) by police yesterday while protesting the demolition of a village to allow for the expansion of a coal mine. Protesters had been trying to defend the town, called Lützerath, for years, turning it into a symbol of government hypocrisy on climate change. But the energy crisis spurred by the war in Ukraine, and Germany’s desperate search for more energy sources, lent new urgency to the coal mine’s expansion. Last week, hundreds of protesters who had been living in Lützerath were cleared out by police.
