🩺 This week, the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service is reviewing the case of Dr Sarah Benn, 57, who has been arrested multiple times taking action to stop oil.

I really enjoyed giving a talk entitled 'Going Beyond Research: Climate Change Engagement by Scientists' at #EGU24 today.

You can find the slides at fabiandablander.com/assets/talks/E…

I'll be at EGU all week and happy to chat about these topics if you're around!

The Science Museum closed its Adani-sponsored Energy Revolution Gallery over the weekend after scientists & young people occupied the space & added a pile of coal to show the truth about Adani Group.👏Chris Packham said Adani's sponsorship is 'beyond greenwash - it's grotesque'

Trying to find/built hope outside your research? You can find a list of organizations for scientists wanting to engage or act or connect to the #ClimateMovement
Excellent to find your local Scientist Rebellion or S4F International chapter!

Amazing‼️
EGU #EGU24 has a climate experience wall ❗
Great to let geoscientists think about the grief, process emotions working in/on the #ClimateCrisis can bring about.

New episode of News from a World in Flux, in which we discuss the problems with tree planting as a climate solution

In 1971 Total knew that their operations were among the main causes of climate change:

“it is not impossible, [...], to foresee at least a partial melting of the polar ice caps. The catastrophic consequences are easy to imagine.”

Coral around the world is turning white and even dying as recent record ocean heat takes a devastating toll.

It has triggered the fourth global mass coral bleaching event, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

PEAT IN PARLIAMENT 📣

Next week, a bill that seeks to ban peat sales will be introduced to parliament.

Despite @GovUK’s 2022 consultation showing overwhelming support for a ban, their promise to ban peat sales 'by 2024' has not been met.

Is there a dataset on how much climate scientists fly? My experience talking to friends and colleagues is “much much less than before covid” (and much more train travel), but this would be good to see in data.

There has been a spate of climate protests in art galleries in recent years. In a new paper, Alexander Araya López & I consider why activists are drawn to these spaces, and what makes these protests so provocative.

A statement by Michel Forst Special Rapporteur on Environmental Defenders :

'It is important for me to stress that professional sanctions can definitely be considered as a form of “penalization, persecution or harassment”

Dominic Lawson wrote in the once-respectable Sunday Times today that “Real experts never warn of climate apocalypse”.

The truth is they do - but the media don’t report it.

Listen to what these experts inc. Peter Kalmus and Julia Steinberger have to say.
