One of the protest organisers, Dr Gail Bradbrook, said:"The UN has given us until 2020 to change the course of humanity.Extinction Rebellion occupied roads and bridges in protest "People need to take their heads out the sand and look at the science and frankly panic and join us. It's extremely frightening."
She added that blocking bridges was necessary after other protests, marches and letters to MPs had achieved little."Our demand is the government must tell the truth about the crisis we're in. And that includes working with communities to build resilience."
