The banner reads: "Climate protection instead of repair patch!" Austria tries to protect the melting glacier with a huge foil. Greenpeace demands a reduction of CO2.In original language:Protest auf Tiroler Gletscher gegen KlimapolitikGreenpeace-Aktivisten aus Oesterreich und Deutschland protestieren heute am Pitztaler Gletscher gegen das Versagen der Klimapolitik. In 3000 Meter Hoehe entrollen sie auf dem Gletscher ein mal 14 Meter großes Transparent mit der Aufschrift "Klimaschutz statt Gletscherpflaster". Das Transparent befestigen sie auf einer riesigen Abdeckfolie, dem "Gletscherpflaster", mit dem das Land Oesterreich das klimabedingte Abschmelzen des Gletschers verhindern will. Greenpeace fordert statt dessen, den Ausstoß von Kohlendioxid drastisch zu reduzieren, um die Klimaerwaermung aufzuhalten.Locations:Alpine Countries-Austria-Europe-Pitztaler Glacier-TyrolDate:4 Aug, 2005Credit:© Greenpeace / Rudi FroeseMaximum size:3008px X 2000pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Banners-Climate (campaign title)-Climate change-Day-Glacier melt-Glaciers-Global warming-Greenpeace activists-Ice-KWCI (GPI)-Outdoors-Small group of people-SnowShoot:Climate Action at Pitztaler Glacier in GermanyActivists demonstrate against the Austrian government's failure in taking effective measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to tackle climate change and protect the Pitztaler glacier.
