Tens of thousands demand climate action in Swiss capital
More than 60,000 protesters gathered in the Swiss capital Bern on Saturday demanding tougher policies to combat climate change, organisers said, less than a month ahead of a national election.
If you read Swiss newspapers like NZZ, you might get the impression that climate change is viewed more as an ideological matter, with Swiss citizens approaching it from a seemingly "rational" and "normal" perspective.
However, witnessing large crowds protesting for stronger climate policies underscores that the seemingly outspoken conservative voices don't represent the majority. There's still a prevailing sense of rationality and foresight among the people, advocating for meaningful action against climate change.
I mean it's far too late, but it is nice to see.
It depends on what you mean by too late. It is too late to feel no effects from climate change, but it exists on a sliding scale where it can always be better or worse. Stopping now and doing the right thing would still make things better, and continuing on the current path will continue to make things worse.
Strong ministry for the future vibes.
Ah yes if only Switzerland were to change, the world would be saved.
