Caroline Scientist Rebel for Life

NOT guilty verdict. Last April I pasted scientific papers and glued myself to the BEIS department. Scientists’ advice is ignored by our government. Proud to be part of @ScientistsX

“It is absolutely critical, too, that scientists are in the vanguard. Some are already doing their bit, but far too many remain silent on the greatest ever threat to human civilisation. This has to change.” We agree, and you probably do too. If you're a scientist, here's how 🧵

Climate scientist Peter Kalmus (@ClimateHuman) talks about leaving Los Angeles two years ago due to the risk of climate-fueled wildfires. He says the devastation unfolding in Southern California now is even worse than he feared and warns, "This is still just the beginning."

🚨 When we fight, we win! I've put together a thread giving a quick run down of some of the #climate movement's hard won victories from 2024 to inspire us for the year ahead! 🧵 #ClimateActionNow #EndFossilFuels

Hello @Keir_Starmer I hope you’re having a good start to Christmas . I didn’t know who else to write to so I’m hoping you can help .

As Gaie's MP I tried everything I could to challenge this decision to send her back to prison - including writing to the prisons minister Lord Timpson and the probation service. Why on earth is this government releasing violent criminals early due to prison overcrowding, but then replacing them with a 77-year-old peaceful climate protester who is clearly no threat to the public? And why is she facing this extra punishment of being locked up, for longer than she was meant to be, and over Christmas? Not because she's broken her bail conditions, oh no no, it's because the private company responsible for fitting electronic tags couldn't find one the right size for her, and the authorities weren't willing to consider alternatives like daily check-ins at the police station. Do we think that, perhaps, this government might be getting its priorities wrong?

What’s your integrity worth @sciencemuseum? Where’s your #RedLine? What’s beyond the pale when it comes to sponsorship? Climate destruction, genocide, fraud... Let’s investigate. 🧵1/9

Reason #5678 (? lost count) to #DropAdani New peer-reviewed science documenting Adani's ecological devastation of sacred sites. Scientists and @WJWarriors are up against the PR machine of the world's largest private producer of coal - @sciencemuseum is a key part of this PR.
