🗿STATUE SUNDAY🗿
We have blindfolded statues all over the world after the shocking indifference that has received the latest @IPCC report. We are on a #ClimateEmergency and governments should act accordingly, instead of acting as if this is some nuisance.

Three Smiths Statue, in Helsinki, Finland. #ScienceNotSilence #TellTheTruth

The Spinoza Monument, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. #ScienceNotSilence #TellTheTruth

Rembrandt statues, Leiden, The Netherlands. #ScienceNotSilence #TellTheTruth

The Little Mermaid is blindfolded too. Copenhagen, Denmark. #ScienceNotSilence #TellTheTruth

Thus Daedalus Flew does not see a thing. Dublin, Ireland. #ClimateEmergency #ScienceNotSilence #TellTheTruth

El Gato del Raval is blindfolded in Barcelona, Spain. #ScienceNotSilence #TellTheTruth

If Oscar Wilde and Eduard Wilde had actually met, they would have known about the #ClimateEmergency. The Galway Girl would certainly know about it too. But she is also blindfolded now. Galway, Ireland. #ScienceNotSilence

Aníbal González is blindfolded. Sevilla, Spain. #ScienceNotSilence

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

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

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

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

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.

2/13 scientifiquesenrebellion.fr/textes/positio…

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.

🚨There are currently 4 people on unlimited hunger strike against climate breakdown in Germany. They are demanding nothing more than an honest government statement by the German Chancellor which states three scientific facts.

1/5taz.de/Klima-Hungerst…

1 The continued existence of human civilization is extremely endangered by the climate catastrophe.
2 There is no longer any remaining CO2 budget: there are already hundreds of tons too much CO2 in the air.
3 We have to radically change course now, even if it is years late.

2/5

📢In a press conference today, they announced they will undergo one week of re-feeding to give time to the German Chancellor to meet for a discussion. They did this also to respond to the accusation of blackmailing the Government.

Did you know that targeting inequalities is among the best climate policies? Let us explain! 🧵

1/8

The continuous CO2 emissions are leading to a rise in temperature, with heat waves, floods, and other natural disasters as a consequence. The parasitic growth we are taught to worship is impossible to maintain within the planetary boundaries.
2/8

Degrowth means rethinking which industries are needed and how we want to distribute available resources. We envision this to be a democratic process supported by citizen's assemblies.

Doctor Hugo Raguet, French scientist in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, will go on trial on March 5th in Munich for three non-violent direct actions in Scientist Rebellion's United Against Climate Failure campaign along with several other scientists #ScientistsOnTrial

Hugo was one of the scientists who glued scientific papers on the windows of car dealers and blocked a road in Munich, demanding transport decarbonization, and proposing speed limits on autobahns and a public transport ticket at 9€. #UniteAgainstClimateFailure

During the action, Hugo beseeched onlookers and the public to listen to the science and consider the consequences of continuing on the path of business as usual: the collapse of society and widespread humanitarian crises. The scientists further urged the public to act with them.
