We meet the people behind the headlines: from the tactics of the anti-nuclear movement, and activists clambering onto coal excavators in the early 00s, to striking school children and folks gluing their hands onto roads. We find out what motivates activists and why they are willing to turn to increasingly radical means to force change.   Episode #1: From Nein Danke Nuclear to Coal Isn\u2019t Sexy   Climate activists today are redefining civil disobedience, but how did we get to young Germans gluing their hands to busy autobahns and throwing soup at art? To understand that, Izzy and Anne-Marie take us back to Germany\u2019s famously effective anti-nuclear movement. Regine Richter of Urgewald, a fossil fuel divestment organization, traces the anti-nuclear movement from the 1970s and climate journalist Paul Hockenos historicizes the climate movement\u2019s modern-day tactics.   By 2014, climate activists took the fight directly to the coal mines. This is how the group Ende Gel\u00e4nde made the movement sexy, says German climate activist  Tadzio M\u00fcller, by stopping \u201cinsane, apocalyptic machines\u201d from pillaging the earth\u2014even if only for a day. Being harassed and humiliated by cops during these occupations is what made  Christopher Laumanns forge ahead, growing Ende Gel\u00e4nde and getting the attention of the German press. A new era of climate activism in Germany had dawned.
