Yolanda: "Ik sta op 5 april op de A12 omdat regeringsleiders hebben beloofd subsidies op fossiele brandstoffen af te schaffen, maar deze belofte niet of nauwelijks nakomen. Een betrouwbare overheid kan dit niet toestaan. Als je wat beloofd hebt, dan moet je het nakomen. Punt.” [1/3]

All websites that depend on NOAA data should display something like this. earth.nullschool.net

For The End Climate Silence newsletter this week, I thought about the concept of "resistance." To put it bluntly, I said that "resistance" is a terrible idea to organize on. 🧵

Lately we are witnessing an unprecedented attack on science in the US. These attacks also affect the international scientific field and other communities. This is not an isolated event, and Europe is moving to the same direction. ❤️‍🔥 We invite everyone to sign our science solidarity statement!

Daniele Artico goes on trial again for blocking the Kronprinzenbrücke bridge alongside 13 other scientists in 2022, while fossil fuel companies directly cause the death of hundreds of millions through the #ClimateCrisis they are accelerating. 1/2

USAID freeze by Trump administration threatens #biodiversity #conservation around the globe - and takes local communities along in its erosion. Let other governments and philantropes step in. futurefornature.org/freeze-of-fu...

What do the experts say? Read it out loud to everyone and be part of the IPPC Reading Event. Just scan the bar code and raise your voice for climate action!

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

Dit verschil is eigenlijk nog vele malen groter dan deze tekening laat zien. De onderste twee blokkeren die weg niet enkel voor *hun eigen* toekomst, ja niet eens alleen voor de toekomst van hun eigen groep, landgenoten of species, maar van zo ongeveer álles wat leeft op aarde. Of zal leven!

Voor EUR 1,8 miljard per jaar zijn we klaar. #Landinzicht #nobrainer

Veel minder vliegen, is geen armoede maar beschaving...

Everything about this case is grotesque, but fact that no tracking tag small enough is available is transparently discriminatory design and in breach of Equality Act's coverage of age and gender. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

The new trailer of ARRESTING SCIENCE is out NOW! The film follows Dr. @climatehuman.bsky.social, an impassioned NASA Earth Scientist, rebelling against the system & committing his first act of civil disobedience in downtown LA. Watch the Trailer Now! www.srturtleisland.org/arresting-sc...

🚨 New preprint! 🚨 We analysed over one million actions reported in the AWorld app, the UN's official platform for individual action on climate change: osf.io/preprints/ps... This was an exciting collaboration with @kristiansn89.bsky.social, Jan Bauer, Laura Basconi, & @cameronbrick.bsky.social 🧵👇

Opinie: Niet de wolf maar wijzelf zijn het probleem

Inperking demonstratierecht (TK 22-1-2025): Minister van J&V wil expliciet naar de rechtspraak "in de landen om ons heen" kijken, incl de Public Order Act (VK, 2023) die mede door de #FossilFuel lobby is ontworpen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG-0... 6:15:40 @xrnl.bsky.social @scientistrebellion.nl

Yet again. The UK's judicial system is broken. Gone. Now 20+ climate defenders in jail, and not a single #FossilFuel CEO.

Gaie Delap is a 78-year-old retired teacher and Political Prisoner in the UK. Gaie was sentenced to 20months in prison for taking nonviolent action to call for an end to new North Sea oil & gas licenses. @just-stopoil.bsky.social WON on this demand. So why is Gaie still in prison? 1/3

@GemeenteDenHaag @POL_DenHaag lappen uitspraak van de rechter aan hun laars "vanzelfsprekend mag een waterwerper, bij vreedzame demonstraties als deze, niet worden ingezet als het doel van de inzet (het doen verlaten van de locatie van de demonstranten) niet kan worden bereikt."

With @scientistrebellion.nl @xrnl.bsky.social @ccanl.bsky.social a.o. we blocked the #A12 and other roads to demand an end to #FossilFuelSubsidies in NL and elsewhere, facing violent police intervention at one stage. #Wildfires #California #Valencia #GlobalSouth #FossilMadness

It goes on and on and on in the UK with its broken legal system. #ClimateAction is an urgency. Jailing the voices calling for climate action is a crime.

1/ Repression of climate & env protest is a global phenomenon carried out through new legislation, repurposing existing laws (e.g. terrorism), harsher policing, changes to court procedures & (in Global South) killings There are "remarkable similarities" globally Why? Because it's coordinated

Climate (and eco) activism works. Join me and many others in activism. Drop me a DM when in doubt. Or contact an activist group in your region. It's worth it. @scientistrebellion.bsky.social @scientistrebellion.nl @xrnl.bsky.social @extinctionrebellion.uk @extinctionrebelsde.bsky.social

Art. 21 Nederlandse Grondwet: “De zorg van de overheid is gericht op de bewoonbaarheid van het land en de bescherming en verbetering van het leefmilieu.” De ‘palmares’ van het huidige kabinet: 👇

Al meer dan een jaar worden Palestijnen en omringende landen getroffen door ongekend oorlogsgeweld. Gaza staat op de rand van vernietiging met duizenden slachtoffers. Toch blijft Nederland door steun aan Israël medeplichtig. #nietinmijnnaam #FreePalestine #Gaza

A big win for the youth: A South African High Court ruling dismisses the construction of a 1500 MW coal fired power plant. It's South Africa’s first youth-led climate change litigation ✊ #ClimateCrisis #YouAreNotAlone #YouthPower #UnitedWeStand www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2024...

Very good friend, superb conservationist and passionate tiger lover Erlinda C. Kartika has started this fundraiser for her Sumatran NGO together with amazing colleague Joe Figel. Please join me contributing to this wonderful and impactful initiative of theirs! www.globalgiving.org/projects/sav...

Op 10 september voerden we als XR Landbouw actie bij de Hofvijver en het Tweede Kamergebouw in Den Haag om de WAARHEID OVER DE LANDBOUW te laten zien en boeren een toekomstperspectief te geven. [1/4]

Əlvida, Baku and COP29! It's been somewhat real, though I'm still waiting for an explanation from rich countries why they subsidize fossil fuels with $7 trillion/yr (7.1% of global GDP according to the IMF), but say they can't find more money for climate finance. Anyone?

Imagine if climate protestors broke through police barricades. They’d be brutally beaten by Two Tier Keir’s two tier police force and get 5 year prison sentences. Video by @politicsjoe.bsky.social on Instagram
