Activists from Scientist Rebellion Turtle Island (SRTI) are working with load of fantastic groups to offer heaps of programming for the American Geophysical Union conference in Washington D.C. Dec 8-13, 2024.

Did you see Peter Kalmus’ Opinion Article in Newsweek? Kalmus outlines why “Climate Science and Big Oil Need to Go Their Separate Ways” and calls on AGU “to stop taking fossil fuel money and to officially state the simple truth of fossil fuel industry deception.”
