If you watch close and have a look at the demografics of germany, than this is not judical overreach but a reminder for the baby boomer generation (over 40% of voters) that they indeed have to take care not to leave an unlivable planet.

The young generations (below 35) have basically no real demografic power and are underrepresented in politics. You saw that with covid and who was impacted the most and who will pay at the end of the day.

Off topic: I love that you're using an "f" in the word demografic (standard spelling is demographic). I've been learning a lot about how all the weird spelling exceptions came into the English language and the fact that we still use "ph" to make an "f" sound is just super interesting to me. It's mostly present in words that came from Greek through Latin, which represents the sound of the Greek letter "phi" as "ph". Then, as far as I can understand, the spelling remained unchanged even after all those words began to be pronounced with our current "f" sound.
