Thanks @micefearboggis for this superbly readable paper! Findings are a big surprise, too; would love a sister piece (in same style:) looking at #ecology alongside physical geography #pacificislands #risingsealevels #BiosphericEmergency

The biospheric emergency calls for scientists to change tactics @FerRacimo @EValent @gaston @annanorb #biodiversity #BiosphericEmergency #ScientistRebellion

A group of @scientists from Europe and the United States argues that life scientists should engage in nonviolent #civilresistance.

Our current economic and political structures have an increasingly devastating impact on the Earth’s climate and #ecosystems: we are facing a #biosphericemergency, with catastrophic consequences for both humans and the #naturalworld on which we depend. Life scientists – including #biologists, medical #scientists, #psychologists and #publichealth experts – have had a crucial role in documenting the impacts of this emergency, but they have failed to drive governments to take action in order to prevent the situation from getting worse. Here we, as members of the movement @scientistrebellion, call on life scientists to re-embrace advocacy and activism – which were once hallmarks of academia – in order to highlight the urgency and necessity of systemic change across our societies. We particularly emphasize the need for scientists to engage in #nonviolent civil resistance, a form of public engagement which has proven to be highly effective in social struggles throughout history.
