Green radicals from the activist group Just Stop Oil desecrated Charles Darwin's grave on Monday, claiming humanity is unable to adapt to a supposed climate crisis.
Members of the climate change group Just Stop Oil used orange spray paint to deface the tombstone of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, in Westminster Abbey. The message was a reference to the 2015 Paris Agreement, which called on governments to “1.5 is dead.” This is to prevent global temperatures from rising above 1.5 degrees Celsius.
“Two Just Stop Oil supporters paint on Charles Darwin's grave, demanding that the UK government joins other countries in phasing out the extraction and burning of fossil fuels by 2030.'' ” and Just Stop Oil said In a press release.
The extremist group, which often uses paint to destroy great works of art to draw attention to its cause, uses Darwin's tomb in its latest stunt to demonstrate humans' inability to adapt to a changing climate. They claim that this is due to human factors.
“Darwin would visit his grave to know that we are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction. Under the government's plan, temperatures will rise by more than 3 degrees. Everything they love will be destroyed. World leaders must stop burning oil, gas and coal by 2030,” the group said.
Just Stop Oil also blames climate change for the California wildfires that killed 24 people and destroyed countless buildings and homes.
The next US president, Donald Trump, etc. They cited mismanagement of water resources, failure to clear brush, and poor planning by the Democratic Party-controlled administration. It is cited as an important factor that causes disasters.
The left has long praised Charles Darwin for his theory of evolution, but Just Stop Oil is not the only left-wing group to target the 19th-century British naturalist in recent years.
For example, in 2020, the UK's Natural History Museum, under pressure from the international Marxist Black Lives Matter movement, removed allegedly offensive specimens in its collection, including Darwin's specimens from the Galapagos Islands. announced that it had decided to review the items.
At the time, museum curators reportedly claimed they represented “a colonialist scientific expedition.”
