In the U.K., two members of the direct action climate group Just Stop Oil were arrested after they spray-painted the words “1.5 is dead” on the grave of Charles Darwin at London’s Westminster Abbey Monday. The protest follows the news last week that 2024 was the hottest year in human history, with the average global temperature rising by 1.6 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels. This is one of the activists.
Alyson Lee: “2024 was the hottest year on record. We have already passed through the 1.5 degree that was supposed to keep us safe. Millions are being displaced. California is on fire. And three-quarters of all wildlife has disappeared since the 1970s.”
The activist later said she believed Charles Darwin would approve of their protest “because he would be following the science, and he would be as upset as us with the government for ignoring the science.”
You will make any excuse you need to justify hating climate protesters because you have been conditioned to.
Like a dog that salivates when it hears a bell.
Are you serious? I’m celebrating the actions of protesters in all my comments in this thread. People throw paint on Taylor Swift’s plane and I tell them good job. People spray contaminants into the facilities of those supporting war crimes and I cheer.
Meanwhile, you warn against organizing while blaming others for being anti-protester. Once again I’m going to accuse you of projection. You’re an 11-day old account posting every few minutes and blaming others for exactly what you’re doing. I’m tagging you as a troll account because it’s obvious that’s what you are.
