Well, it's a very, very good question. matched

And I just want to give a shout out for the whole National Emergency Briefing initiative, in a sense, because this started off with a huge event in Westminster Central Hall in London at the back end of last year, where some of the country's top scientists briefed MPs, people from the uh House of Lords, journalists, and others about the seriousness really of what we're facing right now. matched

And then they turned matched

That into a film, but it's a very accessible film. matched

It's kind of done in a way with Chris Packham introducing it, but then it's almost quite quite amusing from time to time when they kind of go back to the um audience and talk about what they're seeing. matched

So there's a way of really engaging people. matched

You don't need to be a complete activist to get something from that film. matched

And the importance of showing that film is that it's being done in communities up and down the country. matched

That means that people are gathering their local councillors, their MP, and having a really important conversation off the back of that film as to what can be done locally. matched

So it's it's a really engaging process. matched

But the people who are writing in are absolutely right. matched

It would boost it no end if we properly got a national showing of that uh emergency briefing if we if we had it introduced by the Prime Minister. matched

Now, the questioner is asking, you know, what's stopping that happening? matched

And that's an incredibly good question. matched

I mean, if I was going to be a bit cheeky, I might say, well, get Zach Polansky to ask for it to happen because he was asking for a Cobra meeting on the floods and the and the heat waves. matched

And we've just heard this week that the Cobra meeting's happening. matched

But it is a serious point because we need to have a sense shared in the country of the level of risk we face. matched

You know, sometimes people make comparisons, don't they, with kind of wartime mobilization. matched

The difference in wartime is that there was a shared understanding of the risk that we were facing. matched

And that's what's collapsed over the past few years. matched
