18 May: our next national meeting! Are you joining us in Utrecht? E-mail us at [email protected]!

Great news indeed: fossil advertising remains forbidden in The Hague!

This week, media all over the world are focusing on a huge but under-appreciated opportunity for increased #climateaction - the overwhelming public support - a mind boggling 80-89% of the global population actually wants stronger climate action! Surprised? 🧵 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

2024 saw the second-highest number of days on record with 'strong' to 'extreme heat stress'. For Europe, the numbers of heat stress days and tropical nights are increasing. On 17 July, 20% of Europe experienced 'very strong heat stress'. Get more insight in the #ESOTC2024 👉 bit.ly/426FILB #C3S

📢Support the ban on fossil advertising in The Hague!📢 Please spread this petition in your network💚 #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #FossilBan

Van PoetinGas naar TrumpGas: Europa’s gasverslaving ketent ons aan grillige autoritaire leiders. Door heel Europa eisen we van onze leiders: breek los van TrumpGas en versnel de omslag naar betaalbare en hernieuwbare energie! ✍️ Doe mee en teken de petitie www.trumpgas.nl

We presented our @scientistrebellion.nl petition to Minister Hermans @ministeriekgg.bsky.social today: NO to more gas extraction from the North Sea. Nothing about this plan is sustainable! 200+ academics signed already, you can still co-sign here: cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/for... More info in our...

Hier wederom bewijs dat achter het criminaliseren van vreedzame klimaat protesten een georganiseerde beweging zit, oa gefinancierd door de olie industrie.

On the 389th Dies Natalis of @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social, Scientist Rebellion gathered in front of the Domkerk to urge the university to honour its commitment to sever ties with the fossil fuel industry. Ironically, this year's theme was "a healthy planet."

An important survey: are you a Dutch academic and are you affected by American policy changes? Fill in this survey! 🧪🌍🌡️

🔴The devastating impacts of the climate crisis reached new heights in 2024, with scores of unprecedented heatwaves, floods and storms across the globe🔴, according to the UN's @wmo-global.bsky.social #StateOfClimate

A newly established network of U.S. academic institutions including @ucsandiego.bsky.social has formed to provide coordinated support for climate scientists in America. Learn more about the U.S. Academic Alliance for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. ⬇️

Op 24 mei gaan we massaal de straat op. We hebben er genoeg van dat radicaal-rechtse angstzaaiers en populisten de politieke agenda bepalen. Zij bedreigen wat vanzelfsprekend zou moeten zijn: een betaalbaar huis, een leefbare wereld, een open democratie. Kortom: onze burgerrechten. destraatop.nu

>13000 signatures for all German politicians. The message? Please, please, please address the #ClimateCrisis and other environmental crises with the urgency they require! Absolutely amazing work by @de.scientists4future.org and @s4f-bebb.bsky.social...

The @ncse.bsky.social has a new climate podcast, Safeguarding Sound Science! The first two episodes are interviews with @michaelemann.bsky.social and @naomioreskes.bsky.social on climate denial. Check it out -- NCSE is also a fantastic organization. Their mission is more important than ever.

1/ Still digesting the success of yesterday’s Donders Session on 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘈𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘮! 🌍 It left us no option but to use our knowledge & influence as scientists to tackle the #climate emergency — not just in researching it but also in leading by example and advocating for change 🧵

I know Dr Kate Calvin personally, as a chapter IPCC co-author. She is now co-chair of the @ipcc.bsky.social 's WG3, a position of immense responsibility. She is one the most FRIGHTENINGLY competent people I know, also extremely nice. I cannot overstate how damaging this Must-Trump decision is.

Imagine thinking education is the problem

For over 50 years, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has given us the weather service, managed our abundant fisheries, and provided critical climate research. Now, President Trump is slashing the agency and these services are at risk.

To deal with root causes of the #climatecrisis, we need to limit #fossilfuel production. This is why we support the Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty @fossiltreaty.bsky.social fossilfueltreaty.org Anyone can endorse the Treaty! Any person, org, business or sub-national government can endorse.

Here is tomorrow’s program. We’re meeting at 11 a.m. at the Garenmarktplein in Leiden. The program starts at 11.30. The teach outs are throughout the day in The Hague and Leiden: www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/news/2025...

Bij onze actie afgelopen maandag bij het Provinciehuis van Noord-Holland is PVV-Statenlid Ronald van Tiggelen bewust ingereden op één van onze rebellen. Hiervan gaan we uiteraard aangifte doen. (1/2)

Studenten van End Fossil Occupy en medewerkers van @sci4futurenl.bsky.social ontevreden over nieuw toetsingskader voor samenwerking met fossiele industrie.

US scientists kept from participating in the IPCC - sign a solidarity statement here: lnkd.in/eyr-HQHw #ClimateScience #ClimateCrisis #Klimaatcrisis #AcademicSky 🧪

"We are not sleepwalking into the apocalypse—we’re charging toward it with full awareness of what’s at stake." Anybody who cares about other people, the more than human world and/or the future needs to get their act together, organize and protest. Another world is possible.

On Monday: "Together we can: the why and how of climate activism", a public talk and discussion at @unileiden.bsky.social and @scientistrebellion.nl on the #ClimateCrisis and our roles (or not) as scientists and academics. Sign up to attend live or digitally, via the link!

The Paris Agreement was signed 10 years ago, in 2015... and the climate is changing faster than it did before: www.carbonbrief.org/factcheck-wh... #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #ClimateScience #Klimaatcrisis

Vandaag in 2025, tien jaar na het Parijs akkoord in 2015, zouden landen hun klimaatplannen voor óver tien jaar, in 2035, presenteren, maar dat lieten de meeste landen incl de EU verstek gaan. Slecht nieuws voor de leefbaarheid vd planeet: klimaatactie is NU nodig. nos.nl/artikel/2555...

Bouw je pensioen op, of heb je pensioen opgebouwd, in Nederland? Als je nog één goede actie wilt doen voor je je weekend in gaat, laat het dan deze zijn!

January is almost over!😱 That means that we're back to everyday life and may have forgotten about some of our goals for 2025... So it's time to share some inspiration! ❓What do you do to make academia greener and more climate-friendly? #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #ClimateScience #AcademicSky

From our latest newsletter: share your green New Year's Resolution!💚 New Year's resolutions aren't quite the rage as they once were, or at least people don't seem to talk about them as much. But what's better than inspiring each other? Let's make 2025 a more sustainable year, together!
