UK academics please sign and share this letter to the Royal Society

[Caroline Dodds Pennock @carolinepennock]

So glad to see this. Academic friends, please do join us in calling on the @royalsociety to make an unequivocal statement about the culpability of fossil fuels in driving the climate crisis. We are in a #ClimateEmergency and we must all do what we can to sound the alarm.

(nothing against Nick Cave of course, he just happens to have said something quite clearly that is often just assumed)

[Historians for Future @histforfuture]

When a royal coronation is being described as "the most important historical event in the UK of our age" while multiple ecological crises unfold around us, we have to ask: how have people got such a strangely limited idea of what historically important things are?

[Stig Abell @StigAbell]

This, from Nick Cave, is a magnificent and superfluous justification for curiosity and nuance and holding competing thoughts.

[Historians for Future @histforfuture]

Can/should historians go about changing these sorts of attitudes to what people consider "historical events"? We'd love to hear your thoughts!

We need better working conditions for #betterscience. Take these little reminders to heart and fight for better structures for all. What a great campaign…especially for office doors 🤓💚 @histforfuture @BetterScienceCH @Ichbin_Hanna

BREAKING: BBC is being told that the British government is advising its nationals in Sudan to "make their own way" to the Wadi Seidna Air Base - a military airport 22 kilometres north of Khartoum. Flights due to begin this afternoon, for next 24 hours

This week, @NaomiOreskes & I are hosting a first-of-its-kind conference at Harvard on how social science research can inform litigation & accountability for the climate deception industry (Big Oil/Ag/PR et al). Great summary by @BostonGlobe’s @dharnanoor: https://t.co/hgmkgWmCo1
