Richard Madeley badgered Chris Packham about Just Stop Oil and his response was A++
As the Earth quite literally burns in many parts and becomes dangerous to life in several inhabited regions, some in the media are still desperately looking for a way to make climate change protesters the villains of the piece.
On Monday’s Good Morning Britain, naturalist Chris Packham spoke to Richard Madeley on the climate crisis – and the GMB host dredged something up from an unreliable source.
"I want to ask you about the tactics of Just Stop Oil.. I read that you now think their tactics… are counter productive. Is that true?"

‘A misquote from the Daily Fail’ seems the most likely option, with an extremely liberal interpretation from Alan Partridge Richard Madeley coming a close second.
Tweeters weren’t impressed with the second-rate research – or Madeley’s attitude.
Madeley misquoting Chris Packham and laying into him about #JustStopOil protestors then hands over to a broadcast about Sicily being on fire because of extreme heat. You couldn’t make this up 🙄 #DontLookUp pic.twitter.com/gSZYEigkx8

Chris Packham articulate as ever on the climate crisis. Richard Madeley just a blustering fool. https://t.co/VFxU73O2LR

@ChrisGPackham dealt with this brilliantly. Didn't get infuriated by Richard Madeley which is hard work and made all his points politely and clearly.

Amazing response from Chris Packham and important to note how climate protests actually work from the evidence he has collected. https://t.co/7QWmuhfu7l

This & the thick-as-shit comments under a post about the hottest day on record have made me decide that I think we should we should up our oil usage, make a few people even richer and bring on the death & destruction of humankind even quicker because we don't deserve to be saved. https://t.co/6XnU5qyK2Q
