🚨 BREAKING: XR disrupt Europe’s top insurance conference in Manchester We've crashed #BIBA2025 with 1 message: Stop insuring climate collapse #InsureOurSurvival A new report reveals 33 UK insurance firms still back #fossilfuels & just 5 invest over $6.5billion into climate-wrecking projects Why⁉️

For those who haven’t been feeling fascism for a long time, I wonder if privilege was blinding us? bsky.app/profile/stra...

Blaming migrants, refugees & educated elite are all classic distraction lies, which unfortunately work! It is a common anti democratic method to undermine us! When the real problems are people who live above democracy, e.g. Billionaires, fascists with power. bsky.app/profile/aust...

Make them pay!

WELCOME MEETING When the establishment exists to protect corporate greed and wealthy elites, ordinary people must unite for climate and social justice. Join our global welcome meeting on Monday at 5pm UTC / 7pm CEST. #ClimateCrisis #StandUp us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Isn't 5C human extinction?

Another world is possible, #local #Cleaner #community

Activists greeted travellers at the entrances in protest of private jets, airport expansion and air pollution. Children near CPH airport have higher rates of asthma and other respiratory illnesses. This isn't just a climate issue; it's a public health crisis.

🦖 The dinos didn't have a choice. We do. Today at @cphairports.bsky.social the dinos protested the ultra-rich's climate destruction and air pollution together with activists from ExtinctionRebellionDK and @scientistrebellion.bsky.social #staygrounded #banprivatejets

We disrupted Nordea General Meeting while they were voting against the resolution to stop funding fossil fuel expansion. Nordea is still NOT listening to the Science. Fossil fuels must stay in the ground.

Our polar bear was taken into custody.

We demand Nordea to adapt its polices to the minimum of the International Energy Agency’s standards, and stop funding new oil & gas projects.

🚨Ongoing action. Two scientists were arrested because they tried to talk #Nordea out of funding fossil fuels & societal collapse. Nordea is still NOT listening to the Science. Fossil fuels must stay in the ground.

Whoa! This is pretty intensive for people peacefully advocating for saving our only home....

Sweden's treatment of climate activists worries UN Special Rapporteur Michael Forst, AFP reports. - “It's hard to understand why these peaceful people are treated like criminals,” Forst said after a two-day visit to Sweden, where he wanted to raise the issue with the Swedish government.

@etc.se rapporterar att Miljöpartiet vill kalla Swedavia till Trafikutskottet med anledning av fallet ”Clara” – forskaren som höll i en banderoll vid en aktion utanför en privatjet-terminal i Stockholm 2023 www.etc.se/klimat-miljo...

Clara, a researcher, held up a banner against private jets at Bromma Airport. For this, she was arrested, searched for drugs in police custody and eventually denied Swedish citizenship. Now the government, Swedavia and a member of parliament are being criticized by a UN rapporteur.

Det är det här vansinnet vi protesterade mot i aktionen: En person från de rikaste 1 procenten av svenskarna släpper ut nästan tio gånger så mycket koldioxid som en person från de fattigaste 50 procenten. "De rikas lyxkonsumtion driver konsumtionstrender bland resten av befolkningen"

Forskaren Clara höll upp en banderoll mot privatflyg på Bromma flygplats. För det blev hon gripen, visiterad för droger i polisarresten och till slut nekad svenskt medborgarskap. Nu får regeringen, Swedavia och en moderat riksdagsledamot kritik av en FN-rapportör.

This was a great read. The paper discusses hurdles impeding the engagement of researchers: Axiological neutrality Doing one's share of the work Scientific reductionism The socialization of researchers

Scientist Rebellion @sr-sweden.bsky.social försvarade Greta Thunberg och andra unga aktivisters blockad av riksdagen för snart ett år sedan. Analysen är ännu mer aktuell idag: auktoritära ledare, inkl hotar demokratin www.dn.se/insandare/gr...

Helpful study & 🧵on #ClimateAction communication on Twitter found: posts about fossil fuels & using negative language were most effective in gaining retweets positive language & general climate action messages were less effective using moralized language was particularly effective for scientists

Vi har skrivit en text som stöttar studenternas krav på förändring av högre utbildning för att bemöta hållbarhetsutmaningarna. Om du är verksam vid ett svenskt universitet/högskola och har med undervisning att göra får du gärna skriva på. Kontakta mig så skickar jag en länk.

You feel the urgency, You want to do more, You know that social movements are effective... But you don't want to get arrested This is the thread for you 👇

NEW PAPER: - 51% of Big Oil’s profits go to the highest 1% of net worth individuals - 1% goes to the bottom 50% This is wage theft, unprecedented in scale, and I wonder at what point people will revoke these climate arsonists’ licence to operate scholarworks.umass.edu/server/api/c...

👋Hello!👋 Like many others, we have found our way to BlueSky - nice to meet you/nice to see you again! We'll be posting on the climate crisis, academia-related updates and news about our own activities, from The Netherlands and the rest of the world 🌍💚

The UK Government is not serious about climate change.

WELCOME MEETING: Join our global welcome meeting on Monday at 6pm UTC. Hear about our recent actions and our plans for the future. #ClimateCrisis #Protest us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Wow, this guy put on a master class for dealing with a hostile interviewer whose aim was to discredit climate protesters and defend fossil fuel hegemony.

What an inspiring episode. We can do things differently. If enough of us realise what we are up against - and fight for a better, more democratic, healthier world. Where the goal of the economy is human thriving within planetary boundaries instead of eternal economic growth.

Let's get behind them! What do think? @sr-sweden.bsky.social @srti.bsky.social @scientistrebellion.bsky.social

The Big Takeaway: This study reveals that many US Americans might be ready for bold policies that align with degrowth’s goals: reducing ecological impact while enhancing well-being. It challenges assumptions about U.S. resistance to systemic change. 🌎✨

A new study asked: Do Americans support degrowth policies? Spoiler: yes, more than you might expect! ✨ A thread 🧵

This month, companies have gone to great lengths to make us buy more. We have been asked to sacrifice the wellbeing of our planet and other people at the altar of ‘growth at any cost.’ Ditch the #BlackFriday deals and sign up to SGR's Fair Lifestyle Targets: www.sgr.org.uk/projects/liv... 🧪

Spot on: @aarnegranlund.bsky.social three stage approach to engagement.

Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) will never scale to compensate all emissions (& it would be a ludicrously expensive alternative to reductions).

This is what burning Coal, Gas and Oil causes! #CoalKills thanks @justhaveathink www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ipK...

Global Alliance for Banking on Values announces 25 of its member banks have endorsed the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty 👍 www.gabv.org/press-releas... #FossilBanksNoThanks #GABV h/t @andytuit.bsky.social

☕ Today another Degrowth Tuesday Tea Break, where we tackle the question of how we can both reduce consumption, as well as ensure that there is no suffering from this at the same time ✨ 1/9

You might think you're heroic for quitting Twitter, but this is next level. To be elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) is one of the highest honors in science. @deevybee.bsky.social gave up her FRS because she didn't want to be associated with Elon Musk, who was elected FRS for space stuff. 👏

1/ There's a lot of talk these days about scientific neutrality and the role of academics in our planetary emergency So I'd love to introduce myself by sharing some of my work on academic activism and talking a bit about my own shift from 'the lab' to the streets

8/ Colleagues from @scientistrebellion.bsky.social, led by Fernando Racimo, argue in eLife that everything the scientific community has tried to conserve the diversity of life on Earth has been failing So we need a change of tactics

Climate change forces us to rethink everything. This money is just a drop in the (bottomless) bucket. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

To put the $300 billion into perspective, the US Department of Agriculture's budget is $437.2 billion Finance to help the entire global south address the world's greatest challenge $300 billion A single government department in a single country $437 billion

COP29 has ended. The leaders of key nations have failed to acknowledge the scale of the climate crisis. Join our global welcome meeting on Monday at 6pm UTC and be part of a positive vision for our planet and its people. #ClimateCrisis #Protest us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Old individuals matter. Really informative thread by @kellerfish.bsky.social about their paper exploring the impact of loosing old (large and wise) individuals. They call for IUCN to recognize loss of age structure as a threat. Interesting stuff.

Is it legitimate for a climate scientist to engage in civil disobedience? More than legitimate, says a court in Sweden Climate scientists have “a special role and therefore a moral and professional responsibility to act”. Wow
