GOVERNMENT leaders have been told the time to take action on the climate emergency is now, as activists unveiled plans for action across Britain, including weeks of civil disobedience in London later this month. 

Extinction Rebellion (XR) has warned that the feared consequences of the climate emergency are already upon us after the publication of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) report today. 

The study, which outlines the impact of humanity on the climate through the burning of fossil fuels and other pollutants, says that failure to take action to limit emissions now means the target set by governments of remaining below 1.5°C of warming will be missed.
