Stephen Fry in support of Extinction Rebellion: ’Something has to be done’

National treasure, actor and comedian Stephen Fry called on the British public to support Extinction Rebellion. Speaking to camera Fry, said: “Reasonable people, I think, understand that something has to be done about fossil fuels, most of all about our insatiable appetite for them.” “It’s not good just saying everybody give up carbon use because we can’t - ultimately it’s up to governments. You need to get them to recognise that this is the most serious crisis that humanity has ever faced and that therefore we should plan, we should plan in a friendly way, in a way that involves all of humanity. “Disruption can be an awful thing. It can ruin the way the world is. But there’s another form of disruption, which is to stop the world going down the wrong path. To disrupt a destructive journey. And that’s what Extinction Rebellion, for example, does.” Fry’s comments come as record breaking temperatures sweep across Europe increasing the risk of extensive forest fires this summer
