Please become an initial signatory of the International ScientistsForFuture support letter for the climate protesters (to be published in a renowned scientific journal) Dear all You on this email-list signed the article in DN-debatt “Vi klimatforskare stödjer Greta och skolungdommarna” https://www.dn.se/debatt/vi-klimatforskare-stodjer-greta-och-skolungdomarna/ Thank you again for doing that. I think that article became a success. Similar articles or letters have been published throughout the last month in many other countries. An international group (ScientistsForFuture) lead by Gregor Hagedorn, Peter Kalmus, Michael Mann and others, see below for the full list, have composed a letter attempting to do the same on a global platform, to give the youngsters whom protest against the lack of action against climate change support from the scientific community. Below follows the text, and a link to use if you wish to sign this letter. The intentions is to publish it in an international journal (discussion is going on with Science). I apologise if beforehand to those of you whom might get this e-mail several times today. Yours, Douglas From: Gregor Hagedorn <g.m.hagedorn@gmail.com> Sent: den 8 april 2019 00:20 To: Gregor Hagedorn <g.m.hagedorn@gmail.com> Subject: URGENT: Please become an initial signatory of the international ScientistsForFuture support letter for the climate protesters (to be published in a top scientific journal) Dear Colleague, I invite you to become an initial signatory of the ScientistsForFuture (International) letter. (The letter will be published in a top scientific journal, with the list of initial signatories attached.) We, an alliance of scientists and scholars who have previously written similar national or regional letters, invite – scholars, researchers, and scientists from all disciplines, – active as well as formerly active. We will solve the sustainability and climate crisis only by widespread collaboration. If you have previously signed a similar letter, we encourage you to sign again (and apologize). We cannot transfer signatures from earlier letters. Even though there are many similarities, the letters are ultimately different. Please SHARE and encourage other trusted colleagues and friends, who are scholars or scientists, to sign (e. g., please forward this letter). We would like to have initial signatories from as many countries as possible – please think whether you can help to find signatories from other countries in the world!
