Denounce misinformation from foreign political leaders
Some foreign political leaders have claimed that climate change is “fake” and have spread false links between common medicines such as paracetamol and autism. Such statements risk undermining public health and public trust in science.
We ask the UK Government to publicly reject this kind of misinformation and to reaffirm its commitment to evidence-based policy on climate change and autism. By taking a clear stance, the Government can show international leadership and protect public understanding from harmful false claims.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
The UK Government already has a public position on climate change. You can find all its latest announcements relating to climate change on the Department for Energy Security webpages: www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-energy-security-and-net-zero
The position on paracetamol for pregnant women has also been confirmed: www.gov.uk/government/news/mhra-confirms-taking-paracetamol-during-pregnancy-remains-safe-and-there-is-no-evidence-it-causes-autism-in-children
We're therefore not exactly sure what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what action you would like the Government or Parliament to take.
