So glad to see this. Academic friends, please do join us in calling on the @royalsociety to make an unequivocal statement about the culpability of fossil fuels in driving the climate crisis. We are in a #ClimateEmergency and we must all do what we can to sound the alarm.

Can/should historians go about changing these sorts of attitudes to what people consider "historical events"? We'd love to hear your thoughts!
And if you want to know more about us, check out our statement on historians in times of ecological crises
