*Citizens expect researchers to act politically*

In fact, a recent study found that citizens in Germany and the US expect and support political advocacy from climate researchers — with the caveat that they remained divided on the question of outright protest: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/abd4ac

Interestingly, researchers who advocated politically, while considered less objective, were perceived to be acting more "in the interest of society" than their non-advocate counterparts.

*Examples from Denmark*

In the Danish group of Scientist Rebellion, we have organised various kinds of non-violent direct actions — such as teach-ins and road blockades — that involve different levels of civil disobedience.

Here is a picture from one of our actions in the spring, where we blocked all the roads to the Danish parliament together with XR, Greenpeace, and other green organisation in Denmark.
