Naturalist Chris Packham has interviewed former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn as part of the presenter's "No New Oil" campaign.
Packham, 62, has accused the government of putting its focus "on votes over the biggest crisis to ever face humanity" after it approved the licensing of 100 new oil and gas fields.
The presenter has taken to the streets of Westminster to demand the government - and other political parties - stop sanctioning future licences for oil and gas and vow to do so if they get into power.
In a clip from the streets of Westminster in which Packham spoke to Corbyn about the situation, the former Labour leader has a rather bizarre solution.
"Should we be taxing the fossil fuel giants that are making these grotesque profits at the moment?" Packham probed.
Corbyn replied: "That would be a very good place to begin because the profits they've made are absolutely astronomical and out of the vagaries of gas and oil prices.
