In Switzerland and Sweden, these climate scientists who choose activism

The legal battle over the disputed dissolution of the Earth Uprisings has only just begun. The image battle also since the environmental movement has received the support of several leading scientists.

In Switzerland, Julia Steinberger, professor of political ecology at the University of Lausanne and co-author of the latest IPCC report, collects both scientific publications and actions of civil disobedience. For example, it dumped coal on the premises of a Swiss bank accused of financing fossil fuels. Last year she also stuck her hand, with other activists, on a road around the capital Bern to urgently demand the thermal renovation of buildings. A non-violent action, but which still earned him to be taken away by the police.

Among the researchers who inspire the environmental movements and who have actively joined the struggles, there is also the Swedish ecologist Andreas Malm. We saw him in France during the demonstrations against the mega-basins project last March and his theories directly inspired Les Uprisings of the Earth. In his book published in 2020 How to sabotage a pipelinehe believes that the environmental movement must move up a gear, accepts and demands violent actions by attacking, for example, infrastructures that promote global warming: cement factories, refineries, gas pipelines, private jets, SUV vehicles, etc.
