Spain: Ibiza. 10 activists from @EsRebelCientif and @XRIbiza including 2 scientists conducted a performance in front of the private aircraft terminal of the Ibiza airport to protest against the economic, social and ecological injustice produced by private aviation ⬇️ (1/3) ImageImageImage
"The island has become an amusement park for millionaires who come to party on their private planes and mega yachts", explain the activists, "from Ibiza, a private jet once took off only to transport a cactus, with no people as passengers." #MakeThemPay #BanPrivateJets (2/3)
They add "The behavior of these rich people is a luxury that we cannot afford". We must #BanPrivateJets. Read more about the campaign at ➡️ makethempay.info ✊ (3/3)

US: Seattle, WA. @SRTurtleIsland, @XRSeattle and @guardianrebel1 have shut down the entrance of the Signature Jets private jet terminal at Boeing Field for 4 hours. The wealthiest need to be held accountable. #MakePollutersPay for #LossAndDamage. 📷 credits: Mike Quinlan. (1/4) ImageImageImage
Matthew Wheeler, biohealth scientist previously wildland firefighter and member of @SRTurtleIsland ⬇️ "The wealthy chose ecocide. This is their fault. They need to be held accountable, we need to #BanPrivateJets immediately." #MakeThemPay (2/4)
Will Livernois, a bioelectronics researcher and member of @SRTurtleIsland: "Taking a private jet while the planet is on fire is utter insanity. The science has been clear for half a century and we have not changed trajectory." #ClimateEmergency (3/4)

Today, scientists and citizens are taking action at airports around the world. The economical, climate and social injustice generated by the aviation industry must stop. Here at Berlin's airport, blocking the private jet gate ⬇️ #ClimateEmergency (1/n) Image
@SciReb_Germany @DebtforClimate @xr_germany @LossandDamage @LDCChairUNFCCC @StayGroundedNet They demand that governments #BanPrivateJets and #TaxFrequentFlyers. A single 4-hour flight in a private jet emits more than the average European in a year. The Global North must listen to the countries being hit the most by climate chaos at #COP27 and #MakePollutersPay. (2/n) ImageImage
@SciReb_Germany @DebtforClimate @xr_germany @LossandDamage @LDCChairUNFCCC @StayGroundedNet @ExtinctionR UK: Farnborough airport main gate blocked!

After a protest in the luxury car showroom of BMW's headquarters in Munich, 15 members of Scientist Rebellion have been taken into preventive custody.

To show them support and solidarity during their imprisonment, we are collecting letters to send to them in prison.
It can be incredibly good to sit in a cell for a long time and then hear something from outside.

If it's words of support, affection and encouragement, it's all the better. 🫶
13 of them will be held until Fri, Nov. 4th , two others will remain in custody until Tue 1st & Wed 2nd of November.

Another scientist, who has been held in custody since October 28th after participating in a road blockade with us, will remain in prison until Nov. 1st .

The colonial setup of the IMF and World Bank places immense power at the hands of the G7.

Voting shares are based on economic power – richer countries get more votes and poorer countries’ voices are sidelined. (1/4)
#uniteagainstclimatefailure
In the IMF, a British person’s vote is worth 41 times more than a Bangladeshi’s vote and 23 times more than a Nigerian’s vote. Both are former British colonies. (2/4)
Despite constituting 85% of the world’s population, middle- and low-income countries have only ~40% of the vote. Even if the entirety of the global South united against an IMF and World Bank policy, they wouldn’t be able to stop it. (3/4)
