Calling on the media to tell the truth about the climate and nature emergency

Climate change is an emergency — we should call it what it is. I’ve written to the BBC urging them to be transparent in their coverage about this threat & how people can prepare. They must challenge those denying climate change as rigorously as those calling for low‑carbon energy policy.

The media in this country is just broken beyond repair isn’t it. Government aims to make school meals healthier - no we can’t have that as absolutely everything has to be ‘other sided’. And these are meant to be the true patriots of the right. ‘LOOK AFTER AR OWN’ - oh no wait, not like that 🤷🏻‍♂️
