Sick and tired of journalists asking politicians how they *feel* about the Bad Thing that just happened. Ask them what they're going to *do* about it!

Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.
