To say climate scientists are being ignored is an understatement.
The planet is sliding past 1.5 degrees Celsius of heating. Heat waves and crop failures are intensifying, coral reefs are dying, and rainforests are passing tipping points.

But even as climate chaos unfolds as predicted, or even faster than predicted, fossil fuel profiteers are doubling down.

We need more and spicier activism, and huge numbers of activists taking risks and filling every conceivable role.I have been arrested for protesting at a JPMorgan Chase branch and for blockading a private jet terminal with the group Scientist Rebellion. I have confronted the man who signed off on the Willow Project on the streets with the group Climate Defiance.
