Yesterday we went to court for having blocked oil infrastructure and glued onto the painting Scream. We did these to demand an end to oil exploration in Norway. Why? Because we believe that humanity can do better than to give in to extinction. 🧵 
Systemic changes do not happen easily. They require shifts in the public debate and values. By blocking oil infrastructure, we aimed to start this debate by targeting the problem. No one noticed. So we decided to try something that would definitely be noticed.
Scream is one of the most famous paintings in the world. Munch himself described the work to be an “infinite scream passing through nature”. We glued a banner onto the safety glass saying “Fossil fuels are choking humanity" to make it clear what is causing the scream of nature.
Pourquoi je me suis retrouvée à interrompre une conférence sur le #glyphosate et me faire traiter d’« anti-science » sur les réseaux sociaux. #ScientistRebellion

Le contexte : l’AFIS, qui se présente comme une association « d ‘information scientifique » organise une conférence publique sur « glyphosate, santé, environnement » dans une magnifique salle gentiment mise à disposition par la mairie du 5e arrdt. 2/20
En intro de la conf, les gars expliquent qu’ils ont voulu inviter des scientifiques spécialistes en complément de leur orateur (qui est ingénieur en info, et donc pas spécialement expert du sujet), mais qu’ils n’en ont pas trouvé. 3/20

“We, scientists and academics, believe we should expose the reality and severity of the climate and ecological emergency by engaging in nonviolent civil disobedience.
Unless those best placed to understand the emergency take action, then how can we expect the public to act?”

Our own Wolfgang Metzeler is on his 16th day of hunger strike in prison. This is his open letter to Scientists for Future calling them to level with the public. He was put in preventive prison along with other 12 people from @AufstandLastGen .

His hunger strike when the German government either:
1. Recognizes we will miss the 1.5 ºC target;
2. Cancels all financial debt of most affected countries by the climate crisis;
3. Limit highway speed to 100 km/h and extend the 9€ ticket for public transport.

Over 40 officers arrived in full gear and dragged peaceful protestors out using pain holds and a special crane to lift down the 4 occupying the building roof. One police officer began crying after having seen the pain inflicted upon Melli, 26, from Letzte Generation. 2/
Interrupting normal classes + holding talks on the role of the Uni in society as a cultural and community meeting point and centre of knowledge & research, they highlighted the historically significant position Universities have taken in civil resistance against injustice. 3/

Scientists all around the world were arrested for taking climate action last week, including many climate scientists. The media barely reported it. This should be deeply, deeply concerning. (above was a quote from the end of #DontLookUp)

With clear intimidatory intent, @SapienzaRoma uni🇮🇹 sued 4 rebels staging a demonstration yesterday at the uni during our day of global action.Rebels were sued for "interruption of public service", which can lead to 7 years in jail and a €3000 fine #ScientistRebellion🧵1/n
The allegation is ridicolous, as there were several other access and exit routes to the building the demonstators were blocking. It clearly shows @SapienzaRoma intent to silence dissent. #ScientistRebellionStrike 2/n
About 10 participants taking films and holding banners were also sued for participation in unauthorised meeting. 3/n
4 cientistas se acorrentaram ontem ao prédio do Chase Bank, em LA, como protesto à crise do clima, já que o banco é o que mais investe em combustíveis fósseis no mundo. A polícia de LA simplesmente mandou um batalhão inteiro para prender os cientistas
Aqui dá pra ver melhor os 4 cientistas e a quantidade absurda de policiais
Esse protesto dos cientistas em LA faz parte de uma série de ações de cientistas ao redor do mundo que ocorreram essa semana para gerar consciência sobre a crise climática. Na Espanha cientistas jogaram tinta vermelha no parlamento nacional

Sierra Leone: Engagement, and Action Day
This event will bring together several stakeholders from institutions to engage and call for climate action especially to policy makers.
Climate change is existential and this is our chance to speak, act, and lead on climate!

In Rome, students have been arrested this morning as they were blockading the entrance to @SapienzaRoma. They were highlighting the vicious link between Sapienza and @eni.
We cannot let Universities be home to greenwashing and far-fetched pledges that lead to further worsening of the eco-climate crisis.
Our group produced a dossier on ENI's decarbonisation strategy whereby we demonstrate the inadequacy of their plan and present our clear demands...

Hoy he participado en la acción de #DesobedienciaEducativa de @ScientistRebel1 y mi clase en @economicasUMA de @InfoUMA no ha sido sobre análisis de datos, sino sobre la #EmergenciaClimática. Si la clase fuera la sociedad, estos son los resultados del sondeo que hemos hecho hoy:
No se han librado de analizar datos, muuuchos datos! Esa es la primera conclusión: realmente no hay falta de información sobre impactos y escenarios. Sin embargo, el 99% de la clase no sabía qué es el IPCC. La ciencia no llega bien a la sociedad.
Acerca de los efectos del cambio climático, menos del 10% de la clase piensa que puedan afectar gravemente a las ciudades o la economía (agricultura y turismo). Es un problema grave sólo para algunas especies y zonas remotas del planeta. Desconexión entre Ecología y Economía.

Scientists in open Rebellion at @COP26! Here some great shots from yesterday when have occupied the King George V Bridge! COP has failed, the people must go into civil resistance!
Despite being banned from the city center, we will be back on Monday with a teach-in from 2-4 on the South End of the King George V bridge. We will talk to the public in a puplic space about the hidden truths of the crisis we are in and what each of us can do to confront it.
