I'm absolutely appalled by the government and media's response to what is happening right now.
It's time for other institutions to confront the government and demand action. I want to see the Met Office, Fire Services, NHS and unions make public statements calling for an end to fossil fuel use and extraction.
It's getting stupid and dangerous and we can all see it now.

They won't learn until they're personally affected.

They're rich enough to not be affected

even when they're affected, they'll choose power and coercion over helping everyone equally
