In a shocking act of protest, two "Just Stop Oil" activists defaced Charles Darwin’s grave inside Westminster Abbey, London, on January 13, spray-painting the words "1.5 is Dead!" in orange. This action follows the alarming news that global temperatures have surpassed the critical 1.5 degrees Celsius warming threshold set by world leaders. In a 56-second video, one of the activists can be seen kneeling beside the grave, stating that Darwin would be "turning in his grave" due to the ongoing sixth mass extinction. The activists, who were arrested shortly after the act, expressed their outrage at the failure to curb climate change. Just Stop Oil Protesters Spray Orange Paint Inside Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 5 (Watch Video).
