Top 10 Things To Know About The Scientist Rebellion Movement

Scientists have been sounding the alarm about the climate disaster for ages now but the government has not taken heed to any of their needs. Scientist Rebellion is a global movement of academics and scientists who are deeply worried about the ecological and climate catastrophe and who believe that scientists’ civil disobedience might help push for immediate climate action. Many scientists are abandoning their desks and the closed-off world of academia in the face of the worsening climate disaster to join the ranks of the Scientist Rebellion, a global movement for climate action. Here are some of the things to know about the Scientist Rebellion Movement.

1. It is a network of academics that uses nonviolent civil disobedience to try to spread awareness

As scientists assert, they have attempted to write reports and make presentations regarding the ecological and climate problem to people in authority, but their efforts have been unsuccessful. Members of the movement now believe in civil disobedience and even claim to use the scientific method in their activities due to the ignorance they receive from these authorities. During protests against government inaction on climate change last year, more than 1,000 scientists in 26 nations ran the possibility of being arrested. Rose Abramoff and other protesters in Washington, DC, tied themselves to the White House fence before being taken into custody.

But in many of the Global South’s poorer nations, where protesting is either illegal or extremely dangerous, climate change campaigners are turning to other tactics to spread the information. Scientist Revolt has carried up various protests during COP26. On November 6, 2021, protesters in Glasgow barricaded the George V Bridge. They also stopped roadways in Berlin in April 2022 in an effort to stop the exploitation of the North Sea’s oil.  

2. As of now, more than 500 academics have joined

About 150 scientists and academics from a variety of fields and ranks around the world have joined the effort to call for an end to fossil fuel subsidies, which are intolerable in the face of a global emergency. Now, more than 500 academics from 42 nations have joined, including IPCC authors.

3. The group was established around September 2020

Scientist Rebellion was founded by Fernando Valladares, a climate scientist. It was established in September 2020 after two physicists threw green paint over the royal society in London (the oldest scientific institution in the world), calling on other scientists to take part in civil disobedience. The movement really took off in November 2021 at the 26th United Nations Climate Change meeting in Glasgow.

4. Scientist Rebellion shares many common goals and strategies with other climate activist groups

Scientist Rebellion has much of the same objectives and tactics as Extinction Rebellion and Ultima Generazione, the groups that recently shut down Rome’s main thoroughfare. All three groups are funded by the Climate Emergency Fund, which pledges money to sustain climate activism around the world.

5. The movement includes some of the most well-known scientists in the world

Both Abramoff, a climate scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab in Los Angeles, California, and Kalmus, a global change ecologist located in Knoxville, Tennessee, have vowed to raise awareness about the climate issue as part of the international organization of scientists. They join Ira to discuss the state of the environmental movement, what it’s like to be an environmental activist in the US and the impact of disruption.

6. Curbing global warming is the movement’s primary objective

Scientist Rebellion advocates for degrowth, climate fairness, and more effective climate change mitigation. Climate scientists are concerned that if much more isn’t done in the upcoming years, the most ambitious goals of the Paris climate pact could be lost before this decade even comes to an end. The average global temperature has already risen by more than 1 degree Celsius. Despite increased public clamor to solve the climate catastrophe, carbon dioxide emissions continue to rise, with emissions in 2019 being around 12 percent more than they were in 2010 and 54 percent higher than in 1990. The term “1.5C is dead” has been adopted by the movement as a sort of slogan as a reference to the Paris Climate Agreement’s mandate to maintain global warming at or below 1.5 degrees Celsius.

7. The movement helps educate people on climate actions

According to Koroma Moinina, the founder of a youth-led organization(Green Leone) people living in locally populated areas may or may not support these activities, because many of them just lack the resources to comprehend the seriousness of the situation. Although there are knowledge gaps, he claimed that some people simply do not think that humans are responsible for climate change, and it’s hard to demand that they cease their operations because the majority of them rely on natural resources for their subsistence. In order to increase the economy while regulating environmental factors, Scientist Rebellion fills that gap and provides a platform for people to understand their needs, receive support, and learn how to bargain with the government.

8. Their protests could pose major risks

According to research, their strategies can have a large positive impact on their cause, but they also pose a major risk. Scientists are beginning to participate in civil disobedience manifestations, despite the fact that doing so directly is undoubtedly not advantageous for their careers. This is exactly what scientific rebellion is a platform for extinction rebellion that encourages scientists to take part in direct civil disobedience despite their strong commitment to the movement’s principles.

9. The movement is built on three pillars

The movement’s three pillars on which it is built offer fresh points of contention; one, adopt an economic degrowth strategy in the near term to meet decarbonization objectives which do not always entail a drop in living standards, two, the richest people, who have gained greatly from the current catastrophic international system while others have suffered the repercussions, must bear the cost of degrowth in order for there to be a just transition, and finally, a just transition to a sustainable system necessitates the utilization of the wealth of the top one percent for the benefit of all.

10. Moreover, they advocate for climate justice

The environmental crisis’s worsening of inequality is one of its most troubling effects because of how it has affected and will continue to affect different parts of the world. According to the studies, the north is responsible for most of the contamination, but the global south will be most harmed. Additionally, certain groups, such as women and indigenous people, are particularly vulnerable.
