Scientists Stage Worldwide Climate Change Protests After IPCC Report

The article offers comprehensive and in-depth scientific viewpoints on climate change, a
severe ecological concern. Margaret Osborne’s article, entitled, Scientists Stage Worldwide
Climate Change Protests After IPCC Report, shows the outlook of scientists wherein based on
them, this dilemma must be highlighted urgently as rapid catastrophic events might and are
currently happening.

It is clear from the words of a group of scientists known as Scientists Rebellion that this
article was composed objectively to raise awareness about how catastrophic climate change is and
that we ought to take action as we are all affected, our family, our friends, and humankind are all
at risk. Additionally, even if some people were detained during the incident, the scientists
continued to share their opinions and call for climate justice, demonstrating sobriety in this
scenario.

However, other forms of protest and rebellion, such as throwing fake blood and gluing
oneself, had not been done in suitable ways. Peace must remain the primary priority to handle this
issue appropriately. With activities taken carelessly and improper communication, nothing will
happen. The appropriate technique to voice difficulties and request assistance must be ingrained
in the back of our brains. Some may argue that they protested in that way to be promptly recognized
and that it was a drive of emotion and professionalism.

Scientists were the first to recognize the gravity of this problem, as Amwanika Sharon
remarked, "Listen to the scientists." If pressed, I would say that the Scientist Rebellion is justified
in its actions because it cares about people and the environment. However, if they restricted their
demands to the government, they might not be able to fully alleviate the crisis, even if they were
to take proper leadership responsibility. Our time is gold, and it is now running out, everyone must
cooperate to save our planet. Fear of survival is what we need for us to act, for us to be motivated
and accomplish our responsibility as individuals, and for the government to act on the climate
justice we desire.
