While 2026 has been a terrible sequence of natural disaster the Dutch government continues subsidising fossil fuels, with no clear plan to stop. Today we joined @xrnl.bsky.social and #utrecht4palestine to block the A12 with the demand: STOP fossil subsidies STOP complicity in genocide

SR and XR at the Radboud University Freshers’ Fair We’re campaigning for Radboud to: 🌍 Publicly recognise the climate and ecological emergency 📚 Prepare students for the future through climate education 🌱 Lead by example in the region by making all university canteens and catering plant-based

🔥 Europe is currently baking under increasingly extreme heatwaves, yet governments and gas companies continue fossil fuel extraction Today, Scientist Rebellion joined @xrnl.bsky.social as rebels once again blocked gas extraction sites across NL. The science is clear: stop new gas drilling.

April 26 marked 40 years since Chernobyl. We joined the final leg of de Luchtfietsers’ ride to Borssele, raising awareness at nuclear sites. SR and @scientists4future.nl stood in solidarity. From Chernobyl to Fukushima, nuclear isn’t clean, real solutions are wind, solar & systemic change.

How fast is the planet warming? Faster than we thought. New article: www. scientistrebellion.nl/index.php/en/2026/03/10/global-warming-is-accelerating/ A new study in GRL finds 98% certainty that global warming is accelerating. The window to avoid 3 °C warming is closing fast.

Last Sunday, Scientist Rebellion and @xrnl.bsky.social joined a closing session in the Dome of Roerloos by Sara Vrugt at @museumarnhem.bsky.social. Guided by Merel Ouwehand and with an immersive soundscape by Ensemble Klang, we reflected on moving from grief to collective climate action.

We’ve pushed coral reefs to the brink with warming, pollution and over-fishing. Saving them now means crossing the tipping point — in reverse. New expert article on our website www.scientistrebellion.nl/index.php/en...
A bleached coral reef where most corals have lost their colour due to the high sea water temperature but are not yet dead. The coral tissue has become transparent and the underlying white calcium skeleton shines through the transparent tissue. The longer such bleaching lasts, the more coral will die.

This week at Radboud University, we handed out 120 rescued pumpkins and had conversations about the climate crisis and about the need for plant-based catering at Radboud University. This isn’t about taking away freedom of choice. It’s about taking responsibility in a climate emergency.

On December 13, we will be taking action at the entrance to the Masters Expo at the RAI Amsterdam, where the elite celebrate their excess. Wealth is hoarded by a small group of super-rich people. Free this wealth for fair redistribution, climate justice, and true democracy.

🚧 We blocked the A12. Again. 🚧 With @xrnl.bsky.social and hundreds more, we demanded an end to fossil fuel subsidies. That makes 44 blockades since 2022. Still—billions go to big polluters. 🔥 Summer 2025: fires, drought, floods. We’re not stopping. For the climate. For justice. #A12 #ClimateAction

This week we held a climate crisis reading marathon at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Readers were invited to publicly read texts related to the climate crisis. The climate crisis impacts all of us, hence we need to bring the science outside of the lecture hall, into the world!

Fossil fuel companies are meant to use them to decarbonize but they keep investing in new extractive, ecocidal fossil projects. They actively participate in the acceleration of the climate crisis, via the emission of greenhouse gases and the release of toxic chemicals during gas and oil production.

The Minister did not take any of our scientific, economic, or juridical arguments into account during the debate. And the concerns of the opposition and those of the citizens from Warffum that traveled to the Hague to voice them were also ignored. More local and disruptive action is needed!

We talked to Members of Parliament from the coalition (NSC), who understand our concerns but fail to act upon them and stop new gas drilling. When we talked to members of the opposition (GL/PvdA, PvdD & SP), they agreed that fossil fuel production can't be expanded in the middle of a climate crisis.

🧪🥀 Pesticides threaten human, animal and plant health at many levels. Almost all pesticides on the Dutch market have obtained a seal of approval by the CTGB, the agency regulating "plant protection" products in the country. But that seal does not provide protection against pesticide toxicity.

According to the Eerlijke Geldwijzer website, ING is the most polluting bank in NL. Indeed, since the Paris agreement (2015), ING has invested nearly 60 billion dollars in #fossilfuels. www.eerlijkegeldwijzer.nl/bankwijzer/h... We call on ING to take the climate crisis seriously. (4/4)
