In an emotional speech last week in Los Angeles, Nasa scientist Peter Kalmus implored people to listen to the dire warnings of climate change experts.
“We’re going to lose everything,” Kalmus said in a video of the moment. “And we’re not joking, we’re not lying, we’re not exaggerating.”
Dr Kalmus, a climate scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, was participating in a protest organized by Scientist Rebellion as part of a global day of action by scientists around the world. His protest in LA involved scientists chaining themselves to the doors of a JPMorgan Chase building.
“I’m here because scientists are not being listened to. I’m willing to take a risk for this gorgeous planet,” Dr Kalmus said while chained to the door. He then started to cry as he added: “For my sons.”
“This is for all of the kids of the world, all of the young people, all of the future people,” Dr Kalmus said later. “This is so much bigger than any of us.”
Dr Kalmus tweeted the next day that he and other protestors had been arrested and linked to an essay he penned forThe Guardian reiterating the urgency of addressing the climate crisis.
“It’s time for all of us to stand up, and take risks, and make sacrifices for this beautiful planet that gives us life, that gives us everything,” Dr Kalmus said in the video.
The protest occurred at Chase in protest of the bank’s fossil fuel financing, the Scientist Rebellion group said.
JPMorgan Chase was the largest financer of fossil fuels of any bank in the world from 2016 through 2021, providing $382bn over that six-year period, according to a report from a consortium of NGOs.
Protestors also took to the streets in Spain on the same day, throwing fake blood outside the Congress of Deputies in Madrid.
Scientists and fellow supporters protested at the Ministry of Environment in Quito, Ecuador and at the Climate Ministry in Copenhagen, according to Scientist Rebellion‘s Twitter account.
The group describes themselves as “activists from a variety of scientific backgrounds,” and states that they “work within the framework of Extinction Rebellion… but adopt some new forms of organizing and mobilizing”.
The world tilts on its axis and that is what Truly is causing climate changes and it’s happened time and again since the Beginning. Get a grip!! And if you Believe in the Science as you Scientists claim….. Then Stop This Bull Sh*t. If anything is bad for our Air and climate it’s the Space Program! Every time a rocket goes up it breaks the Ozone Layer😈😈😈
The Oceans and Seas are what you need to Take Care of!!!!
This climate change thing is a real thing, but it is NOT natural from Mother Nature. It is definitely man-made! There are evil people that want 90% of the population dead and THEY are changing the weather to THEIR satisfaction. They are controlling HAARP and CERN which are weather machines along with the poisonous chemtrails all over the world in our skies. THEY want control of humans on earth. With most of the population dead, they want to control the ones who are still alive, making slaves of those that did not die and THEY have hidden cities underneath Earth’s crust for them to move into. They may or may not know that those cities are being decimated and will not be livable. In the end, the joke is on THEM. THEY will die, too!
Chemtrails. Right.
These pseudo scientists are the only ones who have been listened to for 50 years & have consistently refused debate with the thousands of real, uncompromised scientists around the world who have known from inception that man-made-warming is a total myth.
Just what does this NASA “scientist” have to gain for pushing this nonsense. These people won’t debate normal, educated and thinking scientists. Almost 40 years ago Al Gore and his “scientists” said the east coast would be under water in 12 years. Then it was 20. An article I read on 11/20/2019
Over 10 billion tons of ice and snow in Greenland melted in a 24-hour period, Danish researchers
said Thursday.
56% percent of Greenland’s surface experienced detectable surface melting Wednesday, according
to Polar Portal, a polar statistics source run by Danish research institutions. The melting is related to
the heat wave that has broken high-temperature records in Western European countries in recent
days, as Greenland has seen temperatures 30 degrees above average this week, according to Discover
Magazine.
Greenland experienced more melting Wednesday than any day since 2012, according to the
Washington Post. 197 billion tons of water have poured into the Atlantic from Greenland in the
month of July, according to Ruth Mottram, a climate scientist and glaciologist for the Danish
Meteorological Institute.
And I’ll say that I’ve not heard of one peep about ANY rise is sea level ANYWHERE!!!! Ya ever see ice melt in a glass of water?? It doesn’t rise.
