We recently posted about the People’s Emergency Briefing screening our members attended at Accrington Academy – a powerful and thought-provoking film on climate change.

We were disappointed to see a local and county councillor respond to that post with conspiracy theories and misinformation about climate change. We won’t repeat those claims here, but people are free to read the comments for themselves.
