Just Stop Oil supporters spray-paint ‘1.5 is dead’ on Charles Darwin’s grave Just Stop Oil (JSO) supporters have spray-painted “1.5 is dead” on Charles Darwin’s grave following confirmation that last year was the first to breach the key global warming threshold.
Ms Lee added: “I believe he would approve because he was a good scientist and he would be following the science, and he would be as upset as us with the Government for ignoring the science.”.
“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.”.
Two people used chalk paint on the 19th-century biologist’s grave in Westminster Abbey, London, at about 9.30am on Monday, the climate protest group said.
Alyson Lee, 66, a retired teaching assistant from Derby, and Di Bligh, a 77-year-old former chief executive of Reading Council, from Rode, were involved in the action, JSO added.
