Scientist Rebellion NYC want people to know that the American Museum of Natural History has a greenwashing problem. We brought the real climate science into AMNH, using DIY non-damaging Clingons. Learn how you can do it too.
One scientist's story of becoming an online disruptor, mocking private jet companies for their callous excesses and climate harm. Includes great examples and resources for trying this yourself.
Cornell On Fire actions condemn university administration’s silence and silencing in the face of an existential crisis. We call on Cornell to declare a climate emergency. We blindfolded and gagged the statue of Cornell founder and adorned him with a message to those in power at Cornell: “The science is clear. Don’t look away. Don’t muzzle protesters. Declare a Climate Emergency."
RRAT, the Rapid Response Action Team, was created to fight the silence and make the connections between catastrophe, climate and cause when bad things happen. RRAT is creating a library of videos, press releases, facts and talking points we can use in this fight for truth. We have decades of science predicting these climate-change-intensified disasters to back us up.
On January 6th, we sent our petition to President Biden, calling on him to declare a climate emergency before he leaves office. One day later, the climate emergency came to the people of Los Angeles county, in the form of unprecedented wildfires. We again call on President Biden and the Democratic party to make a very clear and public statement connecting the ways climate change has made catastrophes like this more intense and more frequent.
Images and info about our AGU activities. Scientists signed petitions and pledges, and talked with us at our booth. We projected activist messages. We hosted a workshop, made oral and poster presentations, held a pod discussion, and two outside social gatherings. It was a busy week!
The goal of these "Don't Look Away" actions is to direct global attention to the ecological emergency, by blindfolding iconic statues. This creates powerful images and a clear message: those in power are ignoring the crisis.
We are filled with rage and dismay at the US election outcome. Under Trump’s leadership, we expect a direct assault on the protection of human and environmental justice at home and abroad. His election could lead to social and environmental catastrophes worse than we have ever seen.
You can help us build a Rapid Response Action Team to speak with expertise about climate-related crisis situations when they arise. The idea is to have people with scientific expertise, event specific talking points, pre-planned actions and video clips ready-to-go when a climate disaster or climate-related event occurs.
Scientist Rebellion Turtle Island activists went to the Ecological Society of America conference this month. We made a lot of new friends, a fair amount of noise, and a little good trouble as we worked to grow the movement confronting the intersecting climate and extinction crises.
