Science is supposed to be objective: facts over feelings. But a new generation of scientists is seeing their research thrown into disarray by climate change. Instead of discovering the wonders of nature, Maria Hörhold, a glaciologist, Sebastian Seiffert, a professor of physical chemistry, and Nana Grüning, a molecular biologist, have become chroniclers of a world in decline. But no one is listening to them. What can they do? Instead of retreating in frustration to the ivory tower of their research, Maria, Sebastian, and Nana leave the lab and become activists, for they carry the weight of the world on their shoulders. In times of increasing climate disasters, political paralysis, and social division, the film offers an emotional approach to one of the central questions of our time: What does it mean to take responsibility?
Following the film, a discussion with Wibke Ahrens and Volker Stelzer. Moderator: Klaus Heid, Climate Alliance Karlsruhe.
