Audiences up and down the country have been watching the People’s Emergency Briefing, the film launched 10 months ago to great fanfare. The emergency, if you did not guess, is the so-called ‘climate crisis’.
The 50-minute film features a mix of briefings by experts, interspersed with video footage of weather disasters and reactions from celebrities such as Jennifer Saunders. It has been produced to appear as if it is an official Government briefing, complete with Covid press briefing style podiums. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it is fronted by the BBC’s favourite eco-activist, Chris Packham.
The choice of film distribution is a curious one, given that those behind it want their message spread far and wide. It is not available by download, nor on channels such as You Tube. Instead, it can only be viewed at specially organised screenings. The organisers clearly don’t want people to have the time and space to carefully examine the claims made and question them. Instead, it is all about ‘group emotion’. Each screening is even followed by a ‘structured discussion’.
This trailer is a good intro.
There are nine separate briefings on Nature, Climate, Tipping Points, Weather Extremes, Food Security, Health, National Security, Economics and Energy Transition, plus an introduction by Mike Berners-Lee.
Many of the claims made are not factual, something you might expect in an expert briefing. Many of the statements made are simply opinions or unproven projections.
As noted, the film has not

Keyword: Mike berners lee – I started to read his book “there is no planet B” but it is such unreadable sh!t I bailed out about a third of the way through.
What an absolute clown the man is.
And the issues are promoted by university professors. No wonder they turn out simpletons and morons
This scaremongering is being heavily promoted by the Church of England in my Diocese.
Same here. And now the CofE has instituted the new Creation Season. If that isn’t worshipping nature, I don’t know what is, and I’m sure it’s not Biblical. Of course, it’s all underpinned by the Net Zero messaging that’s become a regular part of services in my Diocese, and lapped up by anyone who’s not prepared to think or do a bit of research for themselves. I can’t recall the last time I heard a sermon about salvation or the Church’s missionary calling.
Decades ago doom-mongers would stand in our high streets wearing their end of the world bill boards. On the whole they were ignored, maybe slightly pitied. Now they dominate the media and are taken seriously by many. The age of stupid indeed.
Neo-marxism imposed through propaganda and emotional messaging. Silo all in their little boxes. No freedoms other than those given by the Jolly Green Giant. Deliberate and immoral.
Mike Berners-Lee giving an introduction? Clearly a bit of sibling rivalry with brother Tim? I wonder what Tim thinks about the “climate emergency”…
Idly searching ‘500 year weather cycles over the last 2,000 years’, the item explains—‘following the last ‘little Ice Age, we have ‘Industrial, unprecedented Global warming’ and tales of doom and gloom. It seems the programmers of AI haven’t moved on from GIGO.
Odd that among the trailer’s ‘talking heads’ (only 3 of whom I recognised) there is a very brief clip of Vladimir Putin. That, I thought to be a little lame, when they could have put in every scaremonger’s favourite bogeyman, Adolf Hitler, instead.
