Your kids and grandkids will want to know if you got arrested for the climate
I wanted to say that this ^^ wasn't a great tweet. I am well aware that not everyone can risk arrest, and I've said as much publicly many times. The spirit behind the tweet was that, in general, we are being FAR too polite as activists, and taking more risks should be encouraged.
Also, that a lot of people who CAN risk arrest are not yet doing so - and if they did I think it would be huge. In general, we need a lot more climate activism of all kinds, but too much climate activism (like petitions) is too polite and as a result probably not very effective
I am working on projections of extreme humid heat, and hopefully will soon be communicating the results publicly (and refining them over time). They are harrowing. All of this activism MUST be seen in the context of potential for future death and suffering.

Sounds really interesting research.
I think it is better to articulate the problem clearly before getting arrested.
