Just Stop Oil is back, ladies and gentlemen, and this time they're vandalizing Charles Darwin's grave at Westminster Abbey in London.
Why? Because Darwin would be "turning in his grave" if he knew we'd temporarily exceeded the 1.5-degrees-above-average-temperature threshold that was supposed to keep us safe according to the Paris Climate Agreement of 2016.
Did you hear that, guys? Californyor is on fire!
And arson climate change is to blame!
From Just Stop Oil:
At around 10:00 this morning, two Just Stop Oil supporters entered Westminster Abbey and proceeded to use spray chalk to write ‘1.5 Is Dead' on Charles Darwin's grave. This was referencing the news on Friday that the world has exceeded the ‘safe' 1.5 degree warming limit agreed by world leaders in Paris in 2015.
The supporters could be heard saying:
‘2024 was the hottest year on record. We have passed the 1.5 degree threshold that was supposed to keep us safe. Millions are being displaced, California is on fire and we have lost three quarters of all wildlife since the 1970's. Darwin would be turning in his grave to know we are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction. The government's plans will take us to over 3 degrees of warming. This will destroy everything we love. World leaders must stop burning oil, gas and coal by 2030.'
Yeah, I'm sure this little stunt will be the last straw for governments to really buckle down and outlaw oil, gas, and coal.
If anything does it, it'll be two elderly women painting "1.5" on Darwin's grave! 😂
