Dear All,
On the 20th and 27th September, the Fridays for Future Movement(youth climate strikers, lead by Greta Thunberg) , alongside many other organisations, will be taking part in a global strike for climate. I have been asked by the UK Student Climate Network, the organisers of the UK climate strikes, to send out this link for scientists and academics working on climate related fields (like CDR and SRM) to sign in support of the global strike.  The document is for scientists and academics of any nationality to sign, and I really hope you can all get behind this fantastic cause. The more people they can get to sign this declaration of support the better, and it would only take two minutes for any of you to fill in the form and sign it, and it would be so helpful to the movement.
Kind Regards,
Gideon Futerman

I've met a few of the youth who are inspired by this young Swedish girl Greta Thunberg at organizing meetings for the September 20  Bellingham, Wa climate strike.  They are poised and determined.  Its wonderful to see. 

If you don't know that much about Thunberg, take 11 minutes to hear her TED talk
