while talking about his climate change after nine Insulate Britain activists were jailed.
[he] told ITV's Good Morning Britain that he understood the 'law-breaking' actions of the protest group, but said they are 'desperately' trying to warn people that the 'click is ticking'.
An emotional Mr Monbiot said: 'Time is running out on the greatest crisis that we've ever faced.
'It's almost unimaginable what we're facing now, and it's very hard to talk about it without crying because it's the end of everything, the end of our hopes, our dreams, our ambitions, our loves, our hates, everything we've dreamt of for our children, the good world we want for them, that could go.
'If global systems reach a tipping point the planet will flip from a habitable state to an uninhabitable state.'
He went on to defend the Insulate Britain protesters and their actions for 'frantically' trying to get the message to 'sink in'.
He said: 'I have two children and every day, I think "Did I do the right thing?"' - before starting to cry.
