Comment

I believe I have addressed the concerns of the earlier editor by rewriting the sentence "He was inspired by the initiative of Belgian scientists .." to remove the reference to personal motivations. Indeed I was unable to find direct support for that sentiment from a reliable secondary source in any case.

Scientists for Future


Together with other scientists, Hagedorn founded the grassroots movement Scientists for Future (S4F) in March 2019. This initiative was inspired by a group of Belgian scientists who had earlier offered their support to the nascent Fridays for Future movement in January 2019 under the banner of Scientists for Climate. The first statement by Scientists For Future was written by a circle of 30people and signed by 26 800 scientists in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. The key authors also published a similar statement in Science with scientists from the United States, including Michael Mann and Katharine Hayhoe. Hagedorn represented Scientists for Future at an environmental meeting with the German Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in early 2020.
