Stephen Fry has voiced his support of protest group Extinction Rebellion and urges the public to back the organisation in a new video about the dangers of climate change. In the footage, the actor and comedian calls for more people to follow the movement, adding: "reasonable people, I think, understand that something has to be done [about fossil fuels]."
In the video, which has been shared on YouTube, 64-year-old Stephen Fry opens up on his views on climate change as news reports, visuals and footage from global summits play on top.
While facing the camera, the "national treasure" says: “If you support environmental causes and organisations like Extinction Rebellion, people – especially ones in the public eye – want to cry, ‘Hypocrite, look at him, he’s wearing clothes and he’s pretending to care about the environment."
