Protesters write ‘1.5 Is Dead’ in orange spray chalk. Two Just Stop Oil activists have defaced Charles Darwin’s grave with orange chalk in Westminster Abbey. Police led the two protesters away after they used spray chalk to write ‘1.5 Is Dead’ at around 10am on Monday morning.

The group said the graffiti was reference to the news that the world had exceeded the ‘safe’ 1.5 degree warming limit for the first calendar year in 2024. One of the women Di Bligh, 77, a former CEO of Reading Council, told reporters: “We’ve done this because there’s no hope for the world, really.
“We’ve done it on Darwin’s grave specifically because he would be turning in that grave because of the sixth mass extinction taking place now.”. The other protester, Alyson Lee, 66, a retired teaching assistant from Derby told PA: “We are trying to get the Government to act on climate change. They are not doing enough.”.
