The amount Elon Musk just paid for Twitter ($44 billion) is nearly equal to Biden’s proposed climate budget ($44.9 billion), in case anyone's wondering how seriously we’re taking the climate crisis

“When I heard Greta Thunberg say she wants Governments to be Honest about the climate crisis, it dawned on me - hey, I make this series called Honest Government Ads... maybe I can help here. So I wrote this HGA.” — Giordano, @TheJuiceMedia

If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would try to figure out what's wrong. When humans do it we put them on cover of Forbes.

Amsterdam wasn’t always like it is today. In the 50s-60s they surrendered to cars too. But starting in the ‘70s, they chose to change. And they kept choosing to change for decades. They’re STILL choosing to change, as Thomas Schlijper’s great pics show. Your city can choose to change.

As a scientist I feel a clear responsibility to act. I know the science. I know what's happening. I know it's real and I know the stakes. I love my kids, I love all life on Earth. And our leaders are still expanding fossil fuels, leading us deeper into danger. How can I not act?

This is the point in history where we know beyond doubt that our current system & the lifestyles it promotes will collapse our society & kill billions. This is also the point in history where most people are too busy, stressed & distracted to let this knowledge ruin their day.

Stop and think for a moment about this statement. It’s true. From here to that destination is unimaginable violence, in our lifetimes, as our food systems are shaken. Why aren’t there millions of people protesting on the streets?

Activism is the only way to save the planet. That’s what the majority of participants in a debate on climate activism agreed on last Tuesday. bsky.app/profile/scientistrebellion.nl #ClimateEmergency advalvas.vu.nl/en/verhalen/sc…

In 2016, a study based on 28 Greenland sharks determined by radiocarbon dating of crystals within the lens of their eyes, that the oldest of the animals that they sampled had lived for 392±120 years and was consequently born between 1504 and 1744 [more: buff.ly/2JfG7AR]

Ik ben diep geschokt. Twee dagen voor de A12-blokkade tegen fossiele subsidies werden (aantal) activisten van Extinction Rebellion Nederland in de vroege ochtend opgepakt. Vreedzaam burgerlijk ongehoorzaam protesteren is een grondrecht. De arrestaties schenden dit recht. (1/3)

Eenieder die zich zorgen maakt om de kleine verstorende gevolgen van de #a12blokkade van Extinction Rebellion Nederland wijs ik graag op de enorme ontwrichtende gevolgen van klimaatverandering. Hoe verhoudt nog geen minuut omrijden zich tot een onleefbare wereld?

Zaterdag stond ik samen met bsky.app/profile/scientistrebellion.nl op de A12 in Den Haag. We eisen de afschaf van de 17,5 miljard euro subsidies die de NLse overheid aan de fossiele industrie geeft. Waarom vind ik zo'n protest te verantwoorden? Lees mijn blog op KlimaatVerandering: klimaatveranda.nl/2023/03/15/wat…

Na tien jaar actievoeren door medewerkers en studenten van de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (inactief), Fossielvrij NL en bsky.app/profile/scientistrebellion.nl is het zo ver: de Vrije Universiteit verbreekt, na Princeton, als tweede universiteit ter wereld de banden met de fossiele industrie!

"For me, they have broken the social contract & have lost their legitimacy and then it is justified to engage in civil disobedience" ✊ KoenLemaire, bsky.app/profile/scientistrebellion.nl at #StockholmClimateWeek 🌍 Join the climate dialogue: app.wedonthavetime.org/posts/d15f2316… #EartDay

This afternoon I was part of a panel at #stockholmclimateweek on the role of civil disobedience in shaping the public debate on climate change mitigation policy. ao we discussed the actions against private aviation by Extinction Rebellion Nederland, Greenpeace International and bsky.app/profile/scientistrebellion.nl at Schiphol.

Some reflections during #StockholmClimateWeek. Civil disobedience can serve as a crucial, necessary counterforce when the democratic process is hijacked by entrenched corporate interests, by spotlighting social injustice bsky.app/profile/scientistrebellion.nl

Op 6 juli 2022 stonden we op de A12 met 30 mensen. Now look at this picture ⬇️ Klimaatactivisme heeft zin 💪🏻💚 En het is extreem nodig. Sluit je aan Extinction Rebellion Nederland
