The message on the balloon reads "CO2-Steuer statt heißer Luft", in English "CO2 tax instead of hot air" and the banner reads “Klimaschutz statt heiße Luft”, in English: “Climate protection instead of hot air”.In original language:Heiße Luft Bundeskanzleramt WienVor dem Bundeskanzleramt füllten heute Vormittag zwanzig Greenpeace-Aktivisten einen Riesenballon mit dreieinhalb Metern Durchmesser mit der im Ministerrat zum Thema Klimaschutz abgesonderten „heißen Luft“. Dazu entrollten die Aktivisten ein fünf mal zwei Meter großes Transparent mit der Aufschrift „Klimaschutz statt heiße Luft“. Greenpeace fordert auch in Österreich eine Diskussion um den hundertprozentigen Ausstieg aus fossilen Energien bis 2050 sowie weitere Maßnahmen, die nachweislich mehrere Millionen Tonnen an Treibhausgas-Reduktion bringen: so etwa eine aufkommensneutrale CO2-Steuer mit Förderung von Klimaschutz-Maßnahmen, den Ausbau von Ökostrom nach deutschem Vorbild und eine flächendeckende Lkw- und Pkw-Maut.Locations:Austria-Central Europe-ViennaDate:8 Aug, 2007Credit:© Greenpeace / Teresa NovotnyMaximum size:3504px X 2336pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Banners-Climate (campaign title)-Day-Direct communications-Governments and Government organisations-Greenpeace activists-KWCI (GPI)-Large group of people-Outdoors-SummerShoot:Balloon Filled with Politicians’ Hot Air in ViennaIn front of the Federal Chancellery in Vienna Greenpeace activists fill a huge balloon symbolically with the “hot air” that is being emitted by the Council of Ministers that is taking place there. The banner reads “Klimaschutz statt heiße Luft”, in English: “Climate protection instead of hot air”. Greenpeace calls for a discussion about a 100% exit from fossil energies until 2050 as well as for measures that verifiably lead to a reduction of greenhouse gases, like a CO2-tax, the extension of green electricity or truck and car tolls.
