   More than 130 health professionals have been arrested for climate protest in the last few years. Information published by the British government on climate change and health in May 2022, which quotes from the Lancet, a leading medical journal, helps explain why so many are ready to risk their livelihoods for the public:
   
   The science is unequivocal; a global increase of 1.5°C above the pre-industrial average and the continued loss of biodiversity risk catastrophic harm to health that will be impossible to reverse.

   As the International Energy Agency and others have made clear, the new fossil fuel developments being supported by the banking sector in general, and JP Morgan in particular, are inconsistent with keeping warming under 1.5˚C. Medical professionals who understand the catastrophic consequences feel duty-bound to take proportionate action to protect life and public health. In 2019, Richard Horton, editor of the Lancet, the leading medical journal, called on all medical practitioners to take direct action:
   
   All health professionals have a duty and obligation to engage in all kinds of non-violent social protest to address the climate emergency’ because it represents ‘the most existential crisis facing our communities in the world today.
