The scientists wear white lab coats, so observers can distinguish the scientists from the frothing green radicals.
Scientists Risk Arrest to Demand Climate Action
A growing international movement called Scientist Rebellion calls on world leaders to end the burning of fossil fuels
By Chelsea Harvey, E&E News on April 11, 2022
Rose Abramoff drove from her home in Knoxville, Tenn., to the nation’s capital last week to chain herself to the White House fence.
The climate scientist was among seven demonstrators arrested on April 6 (and later released). Their motivation: the dire warning that time is swiftly running out to meet the world’s climate goals, as detailed in a major report last week from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Two days later, Abramoff was back — this time marching with a group of climate activists down I-395 at rush hour. The group was arrested again, but not before they’d stalled traffic on one of Washington’s busiest highways.
In both cases, their demands were clear: faster, stronger climate action from world governments and an end to the burning of fossil fuels.
“It was my first experience with civil disobedience for any reason,” said Abramoff, a climate scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, who emphasized that her activism is conducted on her own behalf and does not reflect the positions of her institution. She also spoke with E&E News only on her own behalf.

Scientist Rebellion estimates that a total of around 1,000 scientists in 25 countries participated in last week’s demonstrations, often wearing lab coats to identify themselves.

An old legal proverb states, “If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither on your side, pound the table.”.
Scientists chaining themselves to lamp posts and blocking roads in my opinion is pounding the table.

What is it with the propensity in the last five or six years or so for the Aussie electorate to vote in so many left-of centre women as “independent” MP’s? This Wiki lists the women I am talking about, Cathy McGowan, Kerryn Phelps, Rebekha Sharkie, Zali Steggall, Helen Haines and in the Senate Jacqui Lambie.
Now we have the 21 Climate200 candidates acting exactly like members of a political party – there are 18 women. The Climate200 www page says “..this isn’t a complete list of all current values-aligned candidates.” so there may be more.
The AEC should insist that all Climate200 candidates stand under the banner of a political party with a name like “GetUp Climate200 Party”.
The GreenLeft ABC has just reported – AEC investigating website registered to One Nation candidate fundraising for ‘freedom candidates’ 12Apr22 This is an amazing read how the AEC rides into battle with a relatively insignificant Indie candidate.
While ignoring the huge issue of the large group of Climate 200 candidates all getting aid from Holmes a Court and GetUp with real potential to warp our election.
I come back to the question raised in my blog headline – is there some psychological thing causing Aussies to vote for women Indies? In recent years there has been colossal leftist media propaganda about women and climate – so I wonder if that is affecting us all.
