Myth #3 from COP: Green growth will save us.

Speaker: Dr. Tim Hewlett, astrophysicist and co-founder of Scientist Rebellion. (1/4)

#ScientistRebellion
“In my career I've studied black holes and the evolution of galaxies, but there's little value in learning such things if they are to die with us.” (2/4)
“Scientists can drive real change if we're willing to be honest about the perils we face, the causes, and live like we really believe the science. That means opposing governments and others who are willing to sacrifice everything in order to maintain wealth and power." (3/4)

Manua is a director and actor based in France, working mainly with the drama company Golden Bastards. Before I became involved in theatre, I studied biology at Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse. I also worked at COP21 as team leader for the United Nations in press conferences.
In 2019, I worked with Association Ishpingo in Ecuador on a reforestation project. During the past four years, I have been an activist with Extinction Rebellion and Alternatiba group, and I am now trying to create a bridge between performance art and ecological activism.
Why I’m acting: I wanted to join Scientist Rebellion for this action because I am gravely concerned about biodiversity breakdown. In fifty years, 68% of wild vertebrate animals have died out. I can’t sit on my hands and do nothing.

🧵This morning #ScientistRebellion occupied King George V Bridge in Glasgow! #COP26 has failed, and the people must go into civil resistance! As scientists we feel that we must support those struggling to have their voices heard. 🧵
For more than four hours, our rebel scientists held the occupation. Finally, all 21 scientists got arrested.
If you want to know more about our background and why academic researchers feel the need to occupy a bridge at #COP26 and spend Saturday evening in custody, read our personal statements. For example Mila's:

"Building on my Master's studies in Music Psychology, I am trying to better understand the effect that both music & climate change can have on people across the globe." (2/4)
"Through my articles and social media, I attempt to present an alternative and ethically informed lifestyle, driven by the power of music, human connections and "eco-travel" - by train, sailboat, hitchhiking, & bicycle (no commercial flights!)" (3/4)
