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.”
No I’m specifically using the word “useless”.
Lets just burn down Evil Corp’s headquarters. Now that is useful.
Then fucking go and burn it down smartass
You sound extremely butthurt.
“The only acceptable form of protest is the kind I’m too much of a coward to carry out myself”
Exactly. I never do such stuff.
Never ever mister police man.
Then go do that.
I wonder what went trough your head when you pressed Post after writing such a useless comment.
