The editor-in-chief of one of the world’s most prestigious medical journals has said doctors and medical professionals should engage in protests to address climate change. Richard Horton of The Lancet said that engaging in these protests is part of the duty of a doctor. He said that the General Medical Council (GMC) should be fully supportive of health professionals who engage in climate protests based on its own guidelines on the duties of a doctor. His statement comes after multiple health organizations have taken action on climate change in the United Kingdom.
