During a Monday evening performance of The Tempest at Theatre Royal, protesters disrupted the show to voice their climate change concerns, leading to charges of aggravated trespass against demonstrators Richard Weir and Hayley Walsh. Walsh expressed fear for future generations regarding food shortages and environmental catastrophes. Both protesters demanded immediate action toward halting fossil fuel usage by 2030, drawing parallels between current leadership failures on climate issues and past economic collapses in the UK.
I am scared for my children, I can't sleepwalk them into a future of food shortages, life-threatening storms and wars for resources. Years of writing to MPs, going on marches and teaching my students to be more sustainable, hasn't seen the urgent change needed.
Unless we come together and demand a move away from fossil fuels by 2030, we will go the same way as manufacturing in the UK.
