We are in a #climateemergency – the wellbeing of the entire planet, and the lives of everyone on it, is at risk. 
Time is running out to change course.
Yet some parts of our media are not fulfilling their duty in reporting the scale of this crisis.

The climate crisis affects people up and down this country – we are vulnerable to coastal floods 
, toxic city air pollution 
, forest fires 
, and extreme weather 
like any other nation.
So what are we going to do about it?

Tackling the climate crisis requires the input of all branches of society – government 
, business 
, and the general public 
.
And the duty falls on the media
to hold us all accountable for our actions.

Many journalists are brilliantly reporting the climate crisis day in, day out – @meganrowling @dpcarrington @lesliehook @AnjliRaval @MMace57 @EmilyBeament @RHarrabin @fionaharvey (+ tagged) to name a few! 
But some news organisations need to step up.

The action by @XRebellionUK this weekend exposed these weak points in the media.
If the media don't report the crisis accurately, and government fails to act – then citizens must take it upon themselves to take action.

The media is a crucial channel to report on issues fairly, accurately and proportionately, and hold us all to account for our words and actions.
As the climate spirals out of control, now is the time for our media to come together and take this crisis seriously!
