Call for an urgent televised national emergency briefing
by Graham Wroe Photo credit Liz Pendleton of Media Revolution On Thursday 27th of November, 1200 people gathered in Central Hall, Westminster, including more than a hundred and fifty parliamentarians and leaders from business, culture and the media. The National Emergency Briefing explained how the climate emergency is affecting us as a nation and as a global civilisation. Sheffield was represented by Olivia Blake MP, but it was disappointing that other local MPs did not accept the invitation.

Global data shows the poorest half of the global population accounts for only 3% of carbon emissions associated with private capital ownership, the report calculated, while the wealthiest 10% account for about 77% of emissions.
