🚨 BREAKING: Today we are bringing our message to the courts! Six Scientist Rebellion activists pasted papers about the #ClimateEmergency, #BiodiversityCrisis and quotes of judges from trials of non-violent climate activists to the courthouse.
Fake blood was poured onto ground – The failure of the judiciary to recognise the emergency we are in has real life consequences! As the secretary-general of the United Nations António Guterres said, failure to address climate change is criminal!
The judiciary has the great responsibility to enforce the right to life and integrity enshrined in our constitution! #COP28 #HowMuchMore #FossilMadness

More and more activists are facing judges and are trialed for their "crimes" – fighting for a liveable planet for all of us. For many judges we are nothing but a nuisance, case closed. Dare to take a stance, #FaceTheFacts! Here are some quotes from previous trials👇
Quote of judge #1: "With a small minority is not acceptable to impose your position on others." – Apparently it is, but you have to be an executive of a fossil fuel company, then you'll have it your way and get billions on top! #HowMuchMore?
Quote of judge #2: "Your behaviour is coercive towards the government." – You've got that the wrong way around. The G7 governments have pledged already back in 2009 to stop subsidising fossil fuels, but they don't do it. They are forcing the #FossilMadness on everybody!
Quote of judge #3: "It is clear that you have to take a different path. I can't say which one." – Scientists get out of their labs and onto the streets, the #ClimateEmergency calls for everybody to leave their comfort zone, before the #HumanClimateNiche is gone!
Quote of judge #4: "Saving lives is honorable. But in your case it is punishable." – Ruining a liveable planet for millions is abhorrent. But too often legal, and in case of fossil fuels the destruction is even subsidised by our government. #HowMuchMore?
Quote of judge #5: "It would make sense if you found a quiet little room and thought about whether you're on the wrong track." – Our labs are quiet little rooms, we thought about this for decades. We need to accept the reality of the #ClimateEmergency and act accordingly!
#TheScienceIsClear. We call on all judges and courts to recognise the emergency we are in. The judiciary has the duty to protect the right to life and integrity, for the current and future generations.
