Nearly 800 scientists have put their name to a declaration of support for all of the people taking place in almost daily actions to demand action on the climate crisis.
“As scientists, we have an obligation that extends beyond merely describing and understanding the natural world to taking an active part in helping to protect it,” reads the letter. “We note that the scientific community has already tried all conventional methods to draw attention to the crisis. We believe that the continued governmental inaction over the climate and ecological crisis now justifies peaceful and nonviolent protest and direct action, even if this goes beyond the bounds of the current law.”
