We’re about to settle in for our second night occupying the Science Museum’s new “Energy Revolution” gallery, in protest against the museums continued ties to the fossil fuel industry.

Here’s an update from inside the museum from Dr. Aaron Thierry

How media use misleading language to demonise protesters

We did not 'storm' the museum, we walked in peacefully as visitors

'Chaos' did not 'erupt'

We were not 'armed' with placards, we were holding them

Blaming - and imprisoning - the messengers is truly the high road to 'climate hell'.

Fantastic job Clare on #RisingTides last night. A clear message, we need to re-frame climate action and focus on the benefits it will bring. 👏 @clarekelly.bsky.social Jane Stout Trinity College Dublin

Well done Philip Boucher-Hayes & Earth Horizon Productions on a fantastic series

Adding context:
Minister Ryan's Department fought hard against the Swiss women in the Court of Human Rights.
The Govt. dispatched five lawyers to argue against them. No other government did that. It is not clear to me why Ireland was so strongly opposed.

We are collectively tracking way above our GHG budgets for 2021-2025 and 2026-2030. This An Bord Pleanála decision makes a mockery of the 2021 IE Climate Act. *Responsibility* lies unambiguously with Government. Simon Harris TD Micheál Martin Eamon Ryan thejournal.ie/an-bord-pleana…

This growing chasm between climate ambition and delivery is not (yet) receiving anything like the overriding societal attention and urgency that is needed. Previous delays mean that EMERGENCY scale (societally disruptive) interventions are now essential. 13/n

Ahead of the final episode of #RisingTides tonight The The Irish Daily Mail has kindly published my top ten take away points from the whole series.

I couldn’t believe the way Brian Caulfield was treated by Pat Kenny Newstalk in this interview about new traffic measures in Dublin.

We welcome the European Court of Human Rights ECHR CEDH ruling in #KlimaSeniorinnen case v. #Switzerland affirming that States have human rights obligations to sufficiently mitigate #climate change. Ruling provides a basis for determined action & justice globally - Volker Türk

This is what the WWF, Greenpeace International and Amnesty International have had to say about today’s big #ClimateChange rulings from the European Court of Human Rights👇

Looking forward to catching up with Trinity College Dublin colleagues on Friday (12-2pm) for our monthly #EcologicalEmergencyBookClub .
April's book choice: 'Braiding Sweetgrass' by Robin Wall Kimmerer, but don't worry if you haven't read it. All are welcome to join the conversation.

10/ 📌in a 16 judges to 1 decision, the Court finds that ther has been a violation of Article 8 of the Convention (respect for private and family life - the main legal basis through which the Court has ruled environmental cases)!

Anne Urai - @neuromatch.social/@anneurai, #11 on our candidate list for the Universiteitsraad Leiden elections 2024, wrote an excellent article with @clarekelly.bsky.social on the need of rethinking our priorities and goals in academia. We highly recommend all to read this & consider its implications for social & ecological sustainability
