Ranulph Fiennes: We need to act on climate change

Witnessing the effect climate change has had on animals and humans in the Arctic has led writer and explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes to fully support environmental campaign group Extinction Rebellion.

β€œIn the 1970s I was designing man-haul sledges which were a little bit waterproof in case there was a canal.
β€œNow we are designing canoes which can be hauled every now and again,” he told ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Hardtalk’s Stephen Sackur, adding that people can now canoe to the Pole instead of man-hauling.

Sir Ranulph said that he would not support violent action and it was important for old and young people to come together to push for β€œsensible carbon behaviour".
