The two of them as soon as they climbed unfolded an orange banner that read “over 1.5 degrees is a world wreck” and launched confetti. At the same time a voice said: “We have to stop the show, ladies and gentlemen, sorry.”
The activists chose to enter their entrance after Weaver emphasized the phrase “come forth”, also urging another character to emerge from the floor.
Immediately after the incident, Weaver, sitting on a stool, got off the stage, while the two protesters disappeared.
The video from the invasion has gone viral and users on social media have condemned the actions of the two activists. “It’s not nice to interrupt art and a show.”

42 -year -old demonstrator Hayley Walsh, a lecturer and mom of three children from Nottingham, but insisted: “I’m afraid of my children, I can’t sleep in a future of food, threatening thunderstorms and thunderstorms. In the years I am writing to Members, I go to marches and teach my students to be more viable, they have not seen the urgent change required. “
“The 1.5 degree is a worldwide wreck that we cannot ignore. California fires, deadly floods in Valencia and hundreds of thousands without electricity in the United Kingdom this weekend. This is not a distant, future problem. We need a global treaty to stop burning fossil fuels and an emergency. “
The 60 -year -old mechanical engineer Richard Weird, of North Tyneside, said: “I started my career at Tyneside Shipyards and saw the inaction of the administration leading to the collapse of the UK industry. Now I see similar failures of leadership as politicians refuse to take action to protect us and our loved ones.
“We are already seeing the damage that this crisis is causing in crops, houses and whole neighborhoods. If we do not consult and demand a removal from fossil fuels by 2030, we will follow the same way as processing in the United Kingdom. “
