BBC presenter Chris Packham was accused of “inciting personal attacks” after plastering trains with “wanted” posters attacking big energy business bosses.
The controversial Springwatch presenter put “wanted” pictures up of fossil fuel bosses accusing them of “murdering life on earth”.

He posted on X: “Up until now we’ve focussed on fossil fuel companies. But companies are made up of people– and these people know that they are working against the interests of all life on earth. They need calling out.”
The posters have been plastered on the inside of London tube trains without permission.
But critics accused the nature fanatic of inciting attacks on people.
Julian Jessop, from the IEA think tank, said: “Chris Packham now seems to be inciting personal attacks on people running companies that are simply meeting demand from businesses and consumers in legal ways that he doesn’t like.
“To see how this ends, just Google ‘US healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.”
Mr Thompson was shot and killed in New York last December.
Other posters on X accused Packham of being “irresponsible” and of “inciting violence”.
The Transport for London spokesman said: “These posters were not authorised by TfL or our advertising partners and we have instructed our teams and contractors to remove any that are found on our network.”
A Tory Party spokesman said: “Chris Packham’s net zero nuttiness has hit new heights, resorting to bullying and intimidation tactics to peddle his agenda. It shows how out of touch he is.
“Net Zero by 2050 is impossible. He needs to get real and realise his embarrassing antics are divisive and disruptive.
“Out of touch eco goons should stop virtue signalling before cause serious harm.”
The Sun on Sunday contacted the BBC for comment but they did not respond.
