"Die Grüne Gefahr" – "The Green Danger"

Thomas Behling: "Die Umweltschützer sind schuld! (Die Lösung)" – "Blame the Environmentalists! (The Solution)", 2023, 18 x 24 cm
Inscription: "It's the environmentalists' fault that we're destroying the planet!"

"Katzenwäsche" – "Wash my fur, but don’t make me wet."

The majority of society wants climate protection, but does not want to change. It becomes nervous, susceptible to fossil lobby campaigns, superstitions and right-wing influences. People are in favor of doing something about man-made global warming, but they still want to fly on vacation. You deny your own fossil addiction. The other countries, the politicians, should take action against the climate crisis. People do not want to see their own responsibility, as voters of political parties and polluters of CO₂ emissions as consumers of flights, cars and goods. Of course, something should change, just not in your own life. Science calls this behavior cognitive dissonance.
