On Monday (July 18), climate activists from the group Last Generation threw paint at the Adlon Hotel in Berlin. The attack was part of a series of protests against climate destruction.

The activists threw orange paint at the facade of the hotel, which is one of the most famous in Berlin. They also glued themselves to the ground in front of the hotel. The activists said they were protesting against the hotel's "climate-damaging practices."

The Adlon Hotel is owned by the luxury hotel chain Kempinski. Kempinski has been criticized for its environmental record. In 2019, the company was ranked as one of the worst performers in the hospitality industry in terms of sustainability.

The activists' demands

The activists are demanding that the German government take action to reduce climate change. They want the government to invest in renewable energy, reduce emissions, and protect forests.

The hotel's response

The Adlon Hotel has condemned the attack. The hotel said in a statement that it "supports the right to peaceful protest, but we do not tolerate violence or damage to property."

The reaction from the public

The reaction from the public to the attack has been mixed. Some people have praised the activists for raising awareness of climate change. Others have condemned the attack, saying that it was a waste of paint and that it did not help the climate cause.

The impact of the attack

The attack is likely to have a negative impact on the Adlon Hotel. The hotel is likely to lose business as a result of the attack. The attack is also likely to damage the hotel's reputation.

The future of climate activism

The attack is a sign of the growing frustration of climate activists. Activists are increasingly resorting to more disruptive tactics in order to get their message across. It is likely that we will see more attacks like this one in the future.
