The world is waking up to the climate crisis. Children are protesting and Extinction Rebellion has gone global.

The Carbon Weevils are a strange species obsessed with digging up and burning fossil fuels. They were originally created in 2007 by innovative multi-media theatre company Forkbeard Fantasy for a theatre production about climate change.
