Our own Wolfgang Metzeler is on his 16th day of hunger strike in prison. This is his open letter to Scientists for Future calling them to level with the public. He was put in preventive prison along with other 12 people from @AufstandLastGen .

His hunger strike when the German government either:

1. Recognizes we will miss the 1.5 ºC target;
2. Cancels all financial debt of most affected countries by the climate crisis;
3. Limit highway speed to 100 km/h and extend the 9€ ticket for public transport.
"I am convinced that it is inevitable to state that the world climate is completely out of control and that mankind, if they want to persist, must shift into reverse gear as soon as possible." #ClimateEmergency #LevelWithUs #DebtForClimate #DecarbonizeTransport

Marta, History and Arts, "We are on the edge of ecological collapse, we cannot continue with our life as if nothing happened. It is our moral duty to rebel. Join us."

Agisilaos Koulouris, Human Physiology and Chemistry, "I am doing this because I am scared, but also because of love. Love for the people around me, and for the world that we can create. We need to act now."

*Neues Preprint* von @FerRacimo et al. Die Lebenswissenschaften werden zu Todeswissenschaften. Unzählige Papers, Berichte, Konferenzen und doch steuern wir auf ein planetares Massenaussterben zu. Warum gelingt es uns nicht, die Gesellschaft zu aktivieren?

zenodo.org/record/7047049
Bis zu 1 Mio. Arten sind vom #Aussterben bedroht. Die Gesellschaft spürt bereits die Folgen des Zusammenbruchs der Ökosysteme. Wir werden immer besser darin, den Tod um uns herum aufzuzeichnen, zu modellieren und vorherzusagen, und immer schlechter darin, ihn zu verhindern. 2/n
Wir erforschen die Welt, haben aber auch die Pflicht, über ihren Zustand zu informieren, um die Gesellschaft positiv zu beeinflussen. Dies ist für Naturschutz und öffentliche Gesundheit wichtig. Doch der erforderliche #Systemwandel bleibt aus, wie @IPCC_CH & @IPBES darlegen. 3/n

A new preprint (zenodo.org/record/7047049) by a team of @ScientistRebel1 members came out today. Here are my two cents on why it is important for you to read it (1/15) 🧵
We, life scientists, should acknowledge that we have failed life on earth, and should take actions to turn the tables. We are everyday being bombarded with news of floods, fires, and other climate disasters. So much that we go numb and don’t care any more. But this is happening.
This is real.

*New preprint* The life sciences are becoming the sciences of the dead. Countless papers, reports and conferences, yet we are still barreling through a mass planetary extinction. Why are we failing to activate society? and what can we do instead? doi.org/10.5281/zenodo… 🧵1/n
Up to 1 million species are threatened with extermination, and human societies are already feeling the consequences of ecosystems breakdown. We are becoming exceedingly good at recording, modeling and predicting death all around us, & exceedingly bad at preventing more death 2/n
We study the world, but we also have a duty to inform about its state, to positively affect society. This is fundamental to fields like conservation and public health. Yet, our societies haven't developed the systems change that the crisis needs, as outlined by @IPCC & @IPBES 3/n
