Few argue that the mass movement to combat inertia on the climate crisis has a point. But is it going about it the right way? Chay Harwood and Marc Hudson, both environmental campaigners, go head to head.
Chay Harwood joined Extinction Rebellion in November 2018 while in the final year of his criminology degree. He is most concerned about how the climate emergency will perpetuate social injustice and affect the most vulnerable people across the world.
Marc Hudson has been an aid worker, a physiotherapist, an environmental activist and is now a researcher. He edits Manchester Climate Monthly and co-founded Climate Emergency Manchester in the UK.
