This is a direct result of the unhinged conspiracies of doom emanating from the Cult of Climastrology. Twenty five plus years of spreading apocalyptic doom. Clamoring about the Earth burning itself to a crisp. Of all the supposed coming next mass extinction. And so forth. The responsibility rests on all the Warmists crying about fossil fuels, yet using vast amounts themselves to head to all their ‘climate change’ conference
Prominent Lawyer in Fight for Gay Rights Dies After Setting Himself on Fire in Prospect Park
A lawyer nationally known for being a champion of gay rights died after setting himself on fire in Prospect Park in Brooklyn early Saturday morning and leaving a note exhorting people to lead less selfish lives as a way to protect the planet, the police said.
The remains of the lawyer, David S. Buckel, 60, were found near Prospect Park West in a field near baseball diamonds and the main loop used by joggers and bikers.
Mr. Buckel left a note in a shopping cart not far from his body and also emailed it to several news media outlets, including The New York Times. (snip)
Friends said that after he left the organization, Mr. Buckel became involved in environmental causes, which he alluded to in his note as the reason he decided to end his life by self-immolation with fossil fuels.
“Pollution ravages our planet, oozing inhabitability via air, soil, water and weather,†he wrote in the email sent to The Times. “Most humans on the planet now breathe air made unhealthy by fossil fuels, and many die early deaths as a result — my early death by fossil fuel reflects what we are doing to ourselves.â€
Gore, Obama, Mann, Schniedermann, the UN IPCC, all the news outlets proclaiming doom of this and that and the other (it’s pretty darned easy to find the doomy climate change stories. The first on on Google News is Hug Your Trees Goodbye, Thanks To Climate Change)
(NY Daily News) A second, longer note — left with the first inside an envelope marked “For the police†— said Buckel doused himself in “fossil fuel†before starting the fatal fire as a metaphor for the destruction of the planet.
“My early death by fossil fuel reflects what we are doing to ourselves,†he wrote. “A lifetime of service may best be preserved by giving a life . . . Honorable purpose in life invites honorable purchase in death.
“I hope it is an honorable death that might serve others.â€
It should serve to show us that a Cult has infected Leftists around the world, along with the news media who constantly and consistently treats us to serving after serving of Doom. And, remember, they’re teaching our kids this garbage. It’s no wonder kids are such mental messes these days, and doing things like eating Tide pods.
The note has more things leftist, including yammering about “privilege”, of which Susan Wright at Red State writes
That’s every social justice primer ever written, compressed into 3 neat paragraphs.
I’m not making light of the man’s death, but if your liberalism drives you to this level of attention seeking, then it’s not just liberalism, any more. It’s a destructive form of narcissism and a disconnect from reality.
Liberalism is destructive, and the Cult of Climastrology sector is one of the worst, if not the worst. If the vast majority of what you hear and read is that everything will be bad, horrible, terrible, gruesome, terrifying, cataclysmic (insert your adjective here), and you listen and take it to heart, you’re not going to have a rosy viewpoint, are you? And this is all based on junk science with the idea to give the government more and more control over the lives of citizens and private entities, reducing their liberty and freedom.
Meh.
Death cult carried to its logical conclusion.
The very least he could have done is burn himself in the middle of the upper Midwest to fight the global snow storm.
Proving again it’s a religion, not science.
How much CO2 did he release into the atmosphere setting himself on fire like that. Environmentalist my ass.
This level of mental illness in anyone is just sad. No doubt his friends encouraged his anger instead of trying to get him help. That just makes it more sad. Unless you are a hermit, we are our brothers’ keepers and do have obligations to talk each other off the ledge. No one in this guy’s life agreed.
The epitome of a flaming homosexual.
