COP is as joke pretending to do something about the Climate Crisis while accelerating us to our doom.

Fossil Fuels should not be part of COP.

Foxes have no business arranging the security arrangements of the hen house.

We deserve better than this scam.

EU is planning to exclude the reporting of the vast majority of non-co2 aviation emissions after industry pressure.

Industry should not be allowed to dictate what should be science driven policy.

This is just an attempt to delay climate action brought to us by Fossil Fuel friends.

If you are in the EU. please write to your MEP.

📢 We refuse to be part of an academic elite that is silent today, only to teach about genocide in 20 years. In the last two weeks, at least 30 Universities in Turtle Island have set up Gaza solidarity camps, including Barnard, Berkeley, MIT and Columbia. (1/n)

Welcome to hell!

The images from #Lahaina town (#Hawaii) after being devastated by wildfires that were fanned into the town by Hurricane Dora are just the beginning of what will be our day-to-day reality in the near future if no radical cuts in emissions are implemented.

Yesterday was International Workers Day.

The international workers day is not a celebration of the exploitation of people by employers but a commemoration of workers struggles to defend their rights and the remembrance of state repression & media complicity.

May 1st marks the beginning of a general strike in the US in 1886 as part of the global 8-hour workday movement, around which workers organised in the form of strikes or riots. (1/7)

The latest IPCC report summarises five years of studies on global temperature rises, fossil fuel emissions, and climate impacts. It warns that many parts of the planet will become unlivable, emphasising the shrinking window of opportunity to secure a sustainable future. (1/4)

Tim was also on trial this week for taking part in an act of civil resistance at Shell, part of the global scientist rebellion of April 2022 alongside over 1000 other scientists worldwide.

Scientist Rebellion founding action: UK Crown court jury finds co-founders Mike and Tim **Not Guilty** for their action at the @royalsociety! More on this news tomorrow.
#scienceontrial #ClimateEmergency

In September 2020, Scientist Rebellion co-founders Mike and Tim took non-violent direct action at the UK's most prominent scientific body: The Royal Society @royalsociety

The legal defense of "consent" was used - that given a true understanding of ecological breakdown and climate crisis, and the power of social movements and civil disobedience to bring rapid change, members of the Royal Society would consent to the non-violent direct action. #NVDA

They were found not guilty of this trial, but Mike is still in custody, in relation to later trials. You can write to him at mikeonremand@protonmail.com

Our partners in @ExtinctionNZ took action inside the regional Air New Zealand Koru lounge inside Christchurch airport. They protested against frequent flyer schemes that reward the rich and powerful for their luxury emissions.

“It is time to ban frequent flyer schemes and tax frequent flyers to the ground. We cannot allow the rich to sacrifice our present and future safety in the pursuit of their luxury lifestyles," said @ExtinctionNZ member Anthony Fieldsaid.

BREAKING NEWS:

Scientist Rebellion Belgium are blocking the private jet terminal of Brussels Airport along with our sibling group XR Belgium.

The emissions of the richest 1% vastly outstrip the emissions of ordinary people. This climate inequality must stop!

Scientist Rebellion co-founder Dr. Tim Hewlett is facing a second trial this week, along with the Royal Society trial. He's being prosecuted for throwing paint at Shell HQ in 2022, during a worldwide protest involving over 1000 scientists. 1/2

This isn't a cost of living crisis. This is an excess profit crisis.

Our climate, energy and economic crisis is caused by the extreme greed of the richest 1%.
