Meet our activists in Colombia! The collective
@ciencia_local is our sister group in Colombia.

In November 2022 they held actions in Bogota and Casanare, calling for the release of our activists imprisoned in Germany and denouncing the lies and deceit of politicians at #COP27. Image
Voice of Colombia: "Politicians have to accept that political power is useless in the face of the climate crisis, only if scientific criteria are taken into account in the decisions of the states, it is possible to improve the future of humanity".
More than 200 environmental activists were murdered in Colombia in 2022. A dramatic reality in the global south: The voices of activists are silenced by threats, persecution and death. But this situation does not stop climate activism, because the emergency transcends generations Image
@ciencia_local works as a team with other local collectives, in the search for the protection of natural wealth, the defence of ancestral territories and the dissemination of scientific knowledge as a tool for liberation from intellectual slavery established since colonial times. Image
Voice from Colombia: "We need and demand that social and environmental justice, that the climate truth be told and that our voice be heard". Image
In February 2023, Bogotá will host the second "We Are Wetlands Festival", where actions will be carried out so that the message of Colombia's environmental defenders will reach the whole word. Image

We must stop fossil companies.

Deadly wildfires in winter! This is what climate change looks like. Five people dead and over two thousand buildings burned in out of control fires ravaging Los Angeles.
1/6
Very wet conditions in early 2024 promoted vegetation growth. But this was followed by record heat in the summer of 2024 in California. The dry conditions prevailed through the autumn with dry vegetation persisting.
2/6
The dry conditions occurred in combination with a severe Santa Ana Wind event with many stations in Los Angeles recording 70 mph (112 km/hr) winds.

1💣 The weapon’s industry doesn’t care about any alliances, it only cares about profit.

“For four out of the five permanent members of the [U.N.] Security Council to top global arms sales that fuel wars around the globe is hypocritical, complicit and immoral” Oxfam International Image
Image
Image
2/ U.S. arms sales to foreign countries is more than $200 billion, mostly to countries that the U.S. condemns as anti-democratic monarchies - Kuwait, Saudi Arabia,... and other types of monarchies, including the U.K., the Netherlands,... and apartheid countries like Israel. Image

1/ 🌱 IS THIS THE WEEK WE FINALLY EXPLAIN HOW MODERN MONETARY THEORY AND DEGROWTH TRANSITION GO HAND IN HAND? Let’s bust some mo’ myths!

@growthkills
#DegrowthNow #BeyondGrowth #DegrowthTuesdayTeaBreak Image
Image
2/ It is common to hear myths that are apologetic in favor of infinite economic growth like “The job market is so competitive, more growth needed to create more jobs!” “ Taxes on the rich will kill jobs” while the financial broker dude believes “My job is crucial and important!” Image
3Economic growth doesn’t mean mo’ jobs! Mainstream economics posits that employment opportunities & incomes are determined by technical aspects of production, and thus the only way to alleviate poverty is to grow GDP. Then why are millions of people, who want to work, unemployed? Image

COP 29 is a fossil fuel scam

For 30 years the UN COP Climate Conferences have failed to deliver meaningful change. They have served as a ‘talking shop’ with the big polluters given seats at the top table to cast doubt over the sciences and delay meaningful action.
1/12 Image
This November’s COP29 event opens under the same bad auspices of last year. A petro-state – Azerbaijan - once again assumes the COP Presidency.
2/12 Image
COP29 president Mukhtar Bahadur is once again an oil executive, having worked in various roles for the Azerbaijan state-owned oil company SOCAR since the 1990s. Putting oil executives in charge is nothing short of a sham that undermines our inability to fight back.

Lancet report confirms what Palestinian voices have always said: this is a genocide.
On July 5th, 2024 a report appeared in @TheLancet highlighting how the horrifying number of 40k slaughtered Palestinians is heavily underestimated.
🧵
1/8 Image
Using the conservative estimate from the secretariat of the Geneva Convention of 4 indirect deaths per reported death the authors estimated 186 000 assassinations attributable to the current genocide in Gaza.
2/8
The number is close to the lower bound of the estimate by Palestinian author Susan Abulhawa, who reported a fork of 194,768-511,824 people, counting direct killings, starvation, and diseases.

As scientists and @SciRebFr , we are calling for a mobilization against the extreme right through voting, collective commitment, direct action, and collective organization. 🧵

1/13 Image
In 🇫🇷, several hundred scientists are calling for a mobilization against the fascist Rassemblement National through voting & collective commitment. RN is indeed an extreme right-wing party like any other, and it represents a real danger to democracy.

Just before the early parliamentary elections, it is important to take a stand and point out the threat posed by the Rassemblement National coming to power. Our opinion piece is currently being circulating through various media and collecting large support.
