🚨 BREAKING: XR disrupt Europe’s top insurance conference in Manchester
We've crashed #BIBA2025 with 1 message:
Stop insuring climate collapse #InsureOurSurvival
A new report reveals 33 UK insurance firms still back #fossilfuels & just 5 invest over $6.5billion into climate-wrecking projects
Why⁉️
For those who haven’t been feeling fascism for a long time, I wonder if privilege was blinding us?

Blaming migrants, refugees & educated elite are all classic distraction lies, which unfortunately work!
It is a common anti democratic method to undermine us!
When the real problems are people who live above democracy, e.g. Billionaires, fascists with power.

Activists greeted travellers at the entrances in protest of private jets, airport expansion and air pollution. Children near CPH airport have higher rates of asthma and other respiratory illnesses. This isn't just a climate issue; it's a public health crisis.
🦖 The dinos didn't have a choice. We do.
Today at @cphairports.bsky.social the dinos protested the ultra-rich's climate destruction and air pollution together with activists from ExtinctionRebellionDK and @scientistrebellion.bsky.social

We disrupted Nordea
General Meeting while they were voting against the resolution to stop funding fossil fuel expansion.
Nordea is still NOT listening to the Science. Fossil fuels must stay in the ground.
Our polar bear was taken into custody.
We demand Nordea to adapt its polices to the minimum of the International Energy Agency’s standards, and stop funding new oil & gas projects.
🚨Ongoing action. Two scientists were arrested because they tried to talk #Nordea out of funding fossil fuels & societal collapse.
Nordea is still NOT listening to the Science. Fossil fuels must stay in the ground.
Whoa! This is pretty intensive for people peacefully advocating for saving our only home....
"I would also like to remind you that peaceful protest is a fundamental right protected under international human rights law and that it is a form of engagement that environmental defenders can use in a democratic society. States sometimes forget that."
Sweden's treatment of climate activists worries UN Special Rapporteur Michael Forst, AFP reports.
- “It's hard to understand why these peaceful people are treated like criminals,” Forst said after a two-day visit to Sweden, where he wanted to raise the issue with the Swedish government.
@etc.se rapporterar att Miljöpartiet vill kalla Swedavia till Trafikutskottet med anledning av fallet ”Clara” – forskaren som höll i en banderoll vid en aktion utanför en privatjet-terminal i Stockholm 2023 www.etc.se/klimat-miljo...
Clara, a researcher, held up a banner against private jets at Bromma Airport.
For this, she was arrested, searched for drugs in police custody and eventually denied Swedish citizenship.
Now the government, Swedavia and a member of parliament are being criticized by a UN rapporteur.
Det är det här vansinnet vi protesterade mot i aktionen:
En person från de rikaste 1 procenten av svenskarna släpper ut nästan tio gånger så mycket koldioxid som en person från de fattigaste 50 procenten.
"De rikas lyxkonsumtion driver konsumtionstrender bland resten av befolkningen"
Forskaren Clara höll upp en banderoll mot privatflyg på Bromma flygplats.
För det blev hon gripen, visiterad för droger i polisarresten och till slut nekad svenskt medborgarskap.
Nu får regeringen, Swedavia och en moderat riksdagsledamot kritik av en FN-rapportör.
This was a great read.
The paper discusses hurdles impeding the engagement of researchers:
Axiological neutrality
Doing one's share of the work
Scientific reductionism
The socialization of researchers
Scientist Rebellion @sr-sweden.bsky.social försvarade Greta Thunberg och andra unga aktivisters blockad av riksdagen för snart ett år sedan. Analysen är ännu mer aktuell idag: auktoritära ledare, inkl hotar demokratin

Helpful study & 🧵on #ClimateAction communication on Twitter found:
posts about fossil fuels & using negative language were most effective in gaining retweets
positive language & general climate action messages were less effective
using moralized language was particularly effective for scientists
Vi har skrivit en text som stöttar studenternas krav på förändring av högre utbildning för att bemöta hållbarhetsutmaningarna. Om du är verksam vid ett svenskt universitet/högskola och har med undervisning att göra får du gärna skriva på. Kontakta mig så skickar jag en länk.
You feel the urgency,
You want to do more,
You know that social movements are effective...
But you don't want to get arrested
This is the thread for you 👇

NEW PAPER:
- 51% of Big Oil’s profits go to the highest 1% of net worth individuals
- 1% goes to the bottom 50%
This is wage theft, unprecedented in scale, and I wonder at what point people will revoke these climate arsonists’ licence to operate scholarworks.umass.edu/server/api/c...
👋Hello!👋 Like many others, we have found our way to BlueSky - nice to meet you/nice to see you again! We'll be posting on the climate crisis, academia-related updates and news about our own activities, from The Netherlands and the rest of the world 🌍💚
The UK Government is not serious about climate change.
