In the southeastern city of Munich, Last Generation activists glued themselves to a major street near the central train station and blocked traffic at rush hour.

In a statement posted on Twitter, the activists said they will continue their climate protests unless the government takes concrete measures to address the climate change.

“Business as usual would kill us. We are the last generation that can still change this course!” the protesters said.

Munich actually wanted to prevent further adhesive protests with a regulation from the beginning of December. According to a general decree, calling for unannounced adhesive protests in the Bavarian capital is punishable by law until the beginning of January.

Members of the group glued their hands to famous paintings in museums and blocked highways and even runways at airports to attract media attention to the global warming.

Their immediate demands include a 100 km/h (62.14 mph) speed limit on German highways, and the introduction of €9 ($9.5) public transport ticket, which would allow unlimited travel and can be used around the country.
