We're science-y and we're against climate chaos! #ExtinctionRebellion #ActNow

[XR Science Rebels @RebelsScience]

If you're in the US and want to take action to protect our climate, consider #stopthemoneypipeline. Stopping #Line3 is a priority.

We must act now.

[XR Cambridge @xr_cambridge]

The village of Lytton which stunned meteorologists by touching 50C on Tuesday is now burning to the ground.

Earlier this week, my colleagues in Washington State, Idaho, Romania, and New York were all melting in heat waves. And to think, this could be the coolest summer of the rest of our lives.

"A record-shattering heat wave in Western Canada and the northwestern United States is believed to have killed hundreds of people in British Columbia."

I like this! Naming the problem accurately is a step towards seeing it clearly.

Making some noise to protest #climate destroying lies #FoxNews

[Extinction Rebellion Global @ExtinctionR]

We need to connect the dots of the crazy, unprecedented, record-shattering weather events happening right now across the world.

Clowning around outside #FoxNews headquarters. Their #climate lies hurt all of us.

[XR Science Rebels @RebelsScience]

Definitely worth checking out this article in the Financial Times.

[John Gibbons 🇵🇸 @think_or_swim]

“What is needed are cuts in consumption, especially the lavish sort that produces both a lot of CO2 & unwanted headlines”

@FT calls time on consumption orgy by rich that is burning down our world

Everyone wants a world with awesome animals in it, right?

[Inger Andersen @andersen_inger]

Ending #biodiversity loss is everyone's responsibility.

It requires transforming:

💚Food systems
💚Infrastructure investments
💚Energy systems
💚Aligning finance flows

What's good #ForNature is good for people and the planet.

Happy #BiodiversityDay!

I hope this motivates everyone to do something, personal or political, to fight climate change.

[XR Science Rebels @RebelsScience]

Anecdotally, it's getting much windier in NYC, too. Increasing wind isn't something I've heard much about, but I wonder if it could turn out to be important.

[Chris Shaw @kalahar1]

It feels to me as though the frequency and intensity of windy days in the UK is increasing rapidly. Not sure what another 30 years of this trajectory looks like, but difficult to imagine it would be commensurate with a stable and flourishing society.

[XR Science Rebels @RebelsScience]

Gonna be tabling this weekend... Not sure what to do about climate change? Talking to people who don't think about it much is always an option.

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Huge climate strikes today across Australia. Tens of thousands of people. Soon the rest of the world will join in... #schoolstrike4climate #ClimateStrike

This report shows a path forward, and is an example of what we need to be pressuring governments and companies to achieve.

[Fatih Birol @fbirol]

The @IEA just released the world’s first comprehensive roadmap for the global energy sector to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.

Our special report shows the pathway to net zero by 2050 is narrow but still achievable if governments act now.

The report ➡️ https://t.co/nnpk3Ik1fH

Does this motivate you to take action against the climate crisis? It motivates me.

[XR Science Rebels @RebelsScience]

Important action to deal with the climate crisis

[XR Science Rebels @RebelsScience]

So happy to hear this

[Extinction Rebellion UK 🌍 @XRebellionUK]

Rowan Tilly was convicted on Tuesday of obstructing the highway during October rebellion. Rather than sentence her, the judge issued an absolute discharge praising her deeds as noble & honest

Judges know prosecuting peaceful protest is pointless Do you @pritipatel @LordWalney?

[XR Science Rebels @RebelsScience]

Don't just worry about climate, do something!

[Extinction Rebellion NYC 🌎 @XR_NYC]

This Friday is Global Anti-Chevron Day
In NYC, rally with #ExtinctionRebellion, @sunrisemvmt, @amazonwatch & other allies at Union Square, 3pm!
