May I once again not-at-all-humbly reiterate what I said back in 2022: the centrist brain-worm that "energy security" comes from crawling from dependence on one fossil fuel supplier to another is absolute bullshit: Europe could and should have been reducing gas reliance faster for the past 3 years

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading Science in Resistance: The scientist rebellion for climate justice by Fernando Racimo. Maybe not very surprising, after all, it was reading a paper by Fernando that made me join Scientist Rebellion three years ago.

"It’s far from unreasonable to expect scientists and the academic community to act in line with their own knowledge and warnings, and I think it’s fair to say that (like most other parts of society) academia isn’t responding robustly to a world that’s literally and metaphorically on fire."

We often think of universities as sites of knowledge creation & critical thinking. And in a (decreasing) number of ways, they are still so. But as I explain in my new book Science in Resistance, they are also pillars of the fossil economy 1/n

My interview at @ceis20.bsky.social in Coimbra is now online! I talk about my book Science in Resistance, about how universities must stop being ruled by extreme hierarchies, and the crucial role of collective action and labor power in this transformation, which is needed now more than ever.

Today @ferracimo.bsky.social visited #Læderstræde20 to discuss his new book ‘Science in Resistance’ w/ @frederikappelolsen.bsky.social

“Science is never neutral” was one of Racimo’s arguments for scientists engaging in activism.

And, I reflect: Not objecting to status quo isn’t neutral either.

Singing "Dies Irae" from Verdi's requiem, with Scientifiques en Rebellion @scientifiquesenrebellion.fr and the fantastic Orchestre de Nouveau Monde orchestredunouveaumonde.fr was a perfect way to take notion of government and private sector inaction during the 10 years since the Paris Agreement.
