Six medics on trial after raising alarm about climate change’s danger to public health
A CHARITY director has questioned whether prosecuting medical professionals is in the public interest as six medics face trial for raising awareness of climate change’s impact on public health.
The medics, who in 2022 cracked panes of glass at JP Morgan’s offices in Canary Wharf, London, could lose their professional status and even face imprisonment.
They plastered posters on the office reading: “In case of medical climate emergency break glass,” during a record-breaking heatwave.
