Viewers of UK breakfast show, This Morning, have been left baffled after a climate change activist appeared naked on live TV. Thirty-one-year-old protester Laura Amherst, from Brighton, UK, has decided to promote her cause by creating an OnlyFans to raise money for Extinction Rebellion, Greenpeace, and an animal right's charity, as per the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/topless-extinction-rebellion-activist-makes-25048502" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Mirror</a>. The news outlet reports that Amherst has already been successful on the platform, which is popular among adult content creators, and has raised more than £1,200 in just weeks - a figure she hopes to increase to £18K this month. She recently appeared on This Morning to explain to hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby that she would be donating 75% of all profits to her chosen charities.

In the footage above, the 31-year-old uses a large sign to protect her modesty. Needless to say, Amherst's unusual form of protest promoted quite the reaction on social media. One Twitter user wrote: "This naked protest woman is doing more harm than good to the climate campaign. Campaigns should focus on the serious issues rather than some woman taking her clothes off, which has no connection to climate change issues. #ThisMorning" [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/AnnaSaysThat/status/1440978094735642627]] However, not everyone was against Amherst's form of protest, with another writing: "But it has got people talking about the issue,would this morning have covered the issue other wise [sic]."

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/ChantalMascoe/status/1440977437244993536]] Amherst explained on the show that she decided to take drastic action against climate change after reading the <a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/">IPCC report</a>, which provides scientific, technical, and socio-economic knowledge about climate change. "As a mother, I worry about the sort of future our children are going to have," she said. Acknowledging Amherst's concerns, Willoughby then asked how this inspired her to take off her clothes. To which, the activist replied: <blockquote>"There's no specific reason for it. A couple of days before the first protest, I was meant to attend an event in Brighton called Free The Nipple, and it’s basically a group of women and they go around in Brighton, and they go topless. "And they don't have anything on their nipples, and it’s for body positivity. It's to de-demonize, de-sexualize, and destigmatize the human breast. I thought it was really cool, and I thought, 'why not do that to feel liberated? And it was an extremely liberating experience'."</blockquote> <h6>Featured image credit: Alamy / True Images</h6>
