Climate Change? Nahhh ...

You mean action, right? The scientists are free to run for political office and pass laws that reflect their advocacy.

 

When pitted against the multi-billion dollar interests fighting against meaningful change under the guise of "unlimited money is free speech," it's not exactly a fair fight, is it? But you know that.

 

No, I meant exactly what I said.

She addressed it in the piece. She wants to attract attention to the science.

A few years ago, Scientist Rebellion, an international network of scientists concerned about climate change, began a series of strategic acts of nonviolent civil disobedience. After years of waiting in vain for meaningful public action to address climate change, I decided to join them.

For my first action, I chained myself to a White House gate to demand that the Biden administration declare a climate emergency. Since I locked that first chain around my waist, I have been arrested three times in nonviolent actions. My superiors at Oak Ridge warned me to be careful but did not discipline me.

But I was motivated to continue because these scientist-led political campaigns have attracted positive media attention and contributed to major policy wins. At the end of last year, a group of us protested the impact of luxury travel at more than a dozen private airport terminals in 13 countries; within a month of our actions, the Podemos party of Spain submitted a request to the European Commission to take measures to reduce the use of private planes. When scientists take action, people listen.

 

maybe they should've banged the pots and pans

 

From last April, this is the group she mentions.

but scientists have long had attention. What scientists don’t have - or what this scientist doesn’t have - is related to results they want.
